CHECK LIST OF THE DIURNAL LEPIDOPTERA 
OF BOREAL AMERICA 


WM. BARNES and F. H. BENJAMIN, Decatur, Illinois. 


INTRODUCTION 


Nine years have elapsed since the publication of any complete list 
of North American Diurnal Lepidoptera. In the meantime many new 
names have been published, and what is still more important, many 
radical changes in generic names and concepts have resulted from 
type fixations. 

In the present list we adopt a method which we consider will 
tend toward the ultimate establishment of some degree of stability of 
nomenclature. 

The generic names are accompanied by type designations. None 
cf these are new fixations, but simply adopted by a strict course of 
following the International Rules of Zoological Nomenclature. Scudder, 
Ploetz, Butler, Godman and Salvin, Barnes and Lindsey, and Lindsey 
have been responsible for the fixation of the majority of genotypes not 
designated or indicated in the original descriptions. It is only justice 
to state that we have been greatly assisted by these fixations, and 
especially by the published and unpublished work of Dr. Lindsey. 
upon which we have drawn liberally. In one factor, however, we have 
deviated from most of the previous work, and that is in considering 
a specific name rather than a specific organism as the genotype. 
Too frequently have we found a specific name quoted as genotype 
when that name was not mentioned in the original description. Some 
cases involve names of typical rather than type species. Many 
cases involve the quotation of a specific name in place of a supposed 
synonym. Scudder’s method of bracketing the supposed syononymic 
name eliminates, for the most part, what might otherwise be a real 
catastrophe, for frequently subsequent changes in the synonymy have 
removed names, and given them entirely different status. As long as 
a name is available we quote it. Where the specific name is unavail- 
able under the Code, we have given it, and then quoted a name which 
we consider to be the oldest available one. 


We have adopted the Htibner Tentamen, thus deviating from the 
Barnes and McDunnough Check List. The matter of the Tentamen 
is now under consideration by the International Commission, but 
pending a settlement of the question regarding its validity, we have 
deemed it best to use our own judgment. In the event the Tentamen 
is proven unavailable, many of the same names will be valid from 
dates 1806 et seq. because of the Sammlung exotischer Schmetterlinge. 
There will be a number of changes if the Tentamen is ultimately 
rejected, but not as many as our European friends who also reject 
the generic names of all of the Hiibnerian works except the Verzeich- 
niss bekannter Schmettlinge might: expect. As practically all of the 
Tentamen names are quoted in the Verzeichniss in the plural, in a 
Similar way to Linnaeus’ use of Papilio-Papiliones, Noctwa-Noctuae, 
Bovis-Boves, etc., a rejection of the Tentamen upon any other grounds 
than non-publication may only mean a somewhat later date for the 
same names. 

We have postponed a list of the Heterocera mainly because of 
the Tentamen dispute. We feel that a list of Diurnals is now es- 
sential as even the latest revisional papers pay little attenton to the 
correct usage of the various generic names; quantities of specific 


9 
vo 


names until now in use are unavailable, being homonyms already 
sunk by Hiibner, Godart, and Latreille; a great quantity of erroneous 
spellings and authorships can now be corrected; and a considerable 
number of names, many based upon freaks, have been proposed since 
the Barnes and McDunnough List, or were omitted therefrom. 

We have stricken from the list a quantity of names having no 
place upon a check list, and these with our reasons will be found 
at the end of this paper. 

In regard to authorship, we follow Article 21 of the Code rather 
than Opinion 78, which in this matter contradicts the definite article 
of the Code, and we list as author the first person to publish a 
name “in connection with” at least an indication of what the name 
represents. We do not consider that mere authorship alone amounts 
to a great deal, but upon authorship hinges specific types. In regard 
to these, Opinion 78 does more to confuse than to clarify the issue, 
as in its own text it more or less contradicts itself and shows no real 
agreement upon the part of the commissioners in regard to specimens 
which constitute the types of manuscript names subsequently published 
by other than the original author. 

We have used a series of markings to indicate certain facts usually 
omitted from check lists, but which numerous friends assure us are 
of decided value. 


* indicates that the organism does not occur, or is of decidedly 
doubtful occurrence, within the fauna we are considering. 
= means an unavailable name, usually a homonym. 


In the text we have as far as possible used the subdivisions a, b, e¢, 
etc., to denote geographical races which have often been listed, especially 
in Europe, as var. The term’form we have applied to a variety which 
exists alongside the nimotypical form or which may be a seasonal 
one and we have confined the term ab. to so-called freak specimens or 
sports. In many instances, of course, our grouping is more or less 
tentative. 

We follow the Code in bracketing authorship where the specific 
name has been originally placed under another generic name than 
the one here used. Personally we feel that there is little to be gained 
by these brackets. Aside from the genera Papilio and Parnassius the 
great bulk of the authorship stands in brackets. For the most part, 
only the rarest species and the names of some recently described minor 
forms and freaks escape. Even in such common and economic groups 
as the Cabbage Butterflies no author of even the most minor form has 
escaped a bracket. For the most part these brackets simply add two 
more symbols to be printed in connection with each name. The only 
real value we can assign to the brackets is a tendency toward uniform- 
ity throughout Zoology. We feel that it would be better that the Zoolo- 
gist dealing with the few higher organisms drop the occasional bracket 
which they use than that the Entomologist should perpetually be re- 
quired to bracket the authorship of the great majority of the important 
names. . 


We request that workers having knowledge of any name omitted 
from this List, or any generic changes, will notify us so that the errors 
may be corrected in a proposed catalogue upon which we are working. 

Lastly we wish to acknowledge that our general text foliows close- 
ly the precedent set by Augustus Radcliffe Grote whose work along 
similar lines in the Heterocera has been a constant inspiration to us, 
and has held before our eyes the hope that careful genotype fixa- 
tions should ultimately result in a nomenclature which will not en- 
tirely change with every new paper.

eleuchea Hbn.” Altho 
previously placed as a synonym 
of pelienis, the name apparently 
represents a misdetermination by 
Hiibner, 1822-1825, Samml. exot.

Apparently 
not a new name but simply a

This misdetermination was pub- 
lished by Guérin, 1829-1831, and 
not by Gray until 1832. 


EOnB Oni a, lexshy? lial Gl

presumably refer to forms dis- 
tinct from minydas, probably 
southern subspecies thereof, have 
not been actually recorded from 
Boreal America, and should be 
dropped from lists until so re- 
corded. 


“godartit 


lycus Hbn.” Evidently 
an error. Skinner puts the name 
in the synonymy of - simaethis 
Dru. and is followed by Barnes & 
McDunnough, 1917, Check List, 
p. 13. Besides the generic term 
Licus of the Zutrage and Lycus 
of the Verzeichness, the only 
lycus we find in Htibner’s works 
dealing with the American fauna 
is on pl. CL, ff. 1-2 of the Samml. 
exot. Schmett., “Urbanus celebris 
Licus,’ in the letter-press as 
AUpelophaut™ — —“Il5{0). A. Celebres- 
Lycus.” This is a large tropical 
Castnia, and is probably not in- 
tended for a new name, but 
simply licus Dru. 


“Strymon favonius Bdv. & Lec.” 
Not a new name. Simply a ques- 
tionable determination of favon- 
ius A. & S., against the judgment 
of Boisduval but in deference to 
Leconte. 


“Strymon pan Harr.’ Not a new 


name. Simply a mere listing by 
Harris of “pan Dru.?” under 
Thecla. 


“Heodes phlweas Bdv. & Lec.’ Not 
anew name. The American spe- 
cies at that time considered the 
same as the Huropean phleas L. 


“Antigonus denuba Ploetz.” The 
original description gives Aburi, 
West Africa, as the habitat. 

“Hpargyreus socus Hbn.’ Probably 
represents a distinct species or 
race not found in Boreal America. 


“Phedinus epigona H.-S.” Placed 
on lists because of Godman & 
Salvin’s description and figure otf 
the supposed type, but this so- 
called type in no way fitting the 
original diagnosis. 

“Hesperia morrissoni Ploetz.” Obvi- 
ously not a new name, but a mere 
misspelling of morrisoni Kdw. 

“Hylephila augias Hbn.’ Appar- 
ently not a new name but a pre- 
sumably erroneous determination 
of augias L. 


“Polites cernes Harr.’ Not a new 
name, but a presumably errone- 
ous identification of cernes Bdv. 


“Polites vetulina Ploetz.” The de- 
scription by Ploetz, 1883, Ent. 
Zeit., XLIV, 58, appears to be 
drawn from Herrich-Schaeffer, or 
a specimen identified as a Her- 
rich-Schaeffer species, and not a 
new name. This species is not 
listed by Kirby, nor do we find it 
in Herrich-Schaeffer, Aussereu- 
rop. Schmett. Ploetz may have 
spelt the name incorrectly, or 
may have resurrected a_ previ- 


27 


ously* overlooked Herrich-Schaef- 
fer name. In either event there 
seems little to be gained by list- 
ing it as a synonym of verna, as 
Ploetz states “Vaterland?’’. 


“Catia «tna Scud.” Not a new 
name. Presumably a misidentifi- 
cation of wtna Bdv. 


“Atrytone vitellius A. & 8.” Nota 
new name. Presumably a mis- 
identification of vitellius Fabr. 


“Amblyscirtes elissa G. & 8S.” Rec- 
ord founded upon _ identification 
by Skinner who subsequently re- 
scinds the statement. 


“Prenes nero Fabr.’ According to 
Skinner and Williams the occa- 
sional Florida visitor is sylvicola 
which is probably a distinct spe- 


cies altho usually sunk as a 
synonym. True nero presumably 
has not been recorded from 
Boreal America. 

“Megathymus drucei Skin.” This 


name does not occur in the Check 
List but is credited to our fauna 
by Skinner & Williams, 1924, 
Trans. Am. Ent. Soc., L, 208, on 
the strength of a statement by 


Schwarz, 1897, Proc. Ent. Soc. 
Wash., IV, 209, that Morrison’s 
material came from near Fort 


Grant in the Graham Mts., Ariz. 
This refers to Coleoptera. At 
least some of Morrison’s Lepi- 
doptera appear to have been col- 
lected in the Huachuca Mts., and 
it is not unlikely that Morrison 
did get into Mexico. Altho hun- 
dreds of Megathymus have been 
received from Arizona, none seem 
like the figure of drucei. The 
reason for the placement of this 
unique “Sonora, Mex.” specimen 
as of United States origin is too 
doubtful to serve as a basis for 
listing the species. | 


BUTTERFLIES OF CALIFORNIA 


(Continued) 


DR. JOHN A. COMSTOCK 
GENUS EURYMUS. Swains 


The Sulphurs 


Boisduval’s Sulphur is a polymorphic species occurring in various 
forms, some of which are seasonal or altitudinal, and others albinic. 
The typical insect, (2. eurytheme eurytheme Boisd.) is the spring 
form, emerging from overwintering chrysalids. This is illustrated 
on plate 13, figures 6 to 11. It is smaller than the summer form, and 
bears less of the orange suffusion. An albinic or white aberrant 
female is not uncommon, and is illustrated on plate 14, figures 1 and 
2. This has been named alba by Strecker. A dark and much suffused 
aberration of Boisduval’s Sulphur has been described by the same 
author as fumosa, but we have not as yet seen Californian examples. 


The Flavid Sulphur, (2. eurytheme amphidusa Bdy.) is the sum- 
mer brood of this same species. It is a handsome insect, as reference 
to figures 4, 5 and 6 of plate 14 will testify. No other member of the 
order is so aptly called “flying butter” or “butterfly.” In another 
sense than that of its color, it deserves this title, for the sulphurs are 


voracious destroyers of clover and alfalfa, which, if allowed to grow . 


and be translated, via the dairy route, into milk, would eventually re- 
sult in butter. Each one of these yellow beauties represents, there- 
fore, just so much butter that has taken wing from the profits of the 
farmer. 


The flavid sulphur has, like the spring form, an aberrant white 
female (alba. Stkr.) which we have illustrated on plate 14, figure 3. 
In higher altitudes this species tends to lose its orange color, and we 
have as a result the Yellow Sulphur (F. eurytheme eriphyie Edw.) 
which is pictured on plate 14, figures 7, 8 and 9. This, however, rep- 
resents the summer high altitude brood, of which Cockerell’s Sulphur 
is the early spring representative. It is unfortunate that Cockerell 
called this autumnalis because it usually results from overwintering 
chrysalids. Occasionally a late arrival may feel the effects of early 
frost and give a typical autumnalis, which probably accounts for the 
authcr giving it an autumnal designation. This form is illustrated 
on plate 14, figures 10, 11 and 12. We have never seen a white female 
of Cockerell’s Sulphur. 


There is hardly a month of the year in which we may not see 


some one of the forms of this butterfly on the wing in our lowland 


rural districts. It fairly swarms at certain seasons, during years that 
are favorable to its multiplication, and is at times a menace to the 
agriculturist. The yellow forms must be sought in our mountain 
meadows, and high plateaus, preferably in farming districts. 


In addition to the common foodplants noted above, the larvae 


have been observed on rattleweed (Astragalus), sweet clover (WMeli- 
lotus) and deerweed (Lotus). :

STUDIES IN PACIFIC COAST LEPIDOPTERA 


(Continued) 


DR. JOHN ADAMS COMSTOCK 
THIRTEEN NEW SPECIES OR ABERRATIONS OF 
CALIFORNIA BUTTERFLIES 


The members of the chalcedona group of Huphydryas are subject 
to a wide range of variation and aberration. Most of our California 
collectors possess one or more of these peculiar forms, and inquiries 
are numerous concerning their cause and designation. 


Some of these have received names, and others are in danger of 
being described without much thought for the direction in which the 
variation runs or the extent to which this variation is carried, unless 
some effort is made to reduce the matter to systematic order. 


The direction in which this group varies is— 


1. A tendency toward complete obscuring of primaries, or secon- 
daries, or both,—complete or hemi-melanism. 


2. A tendency toward accentuation or fusion of the yellow spots 
into elongate bands, on primaries, or secondaries, or both,—= 
complete or hemi-fusion. 


3. A tendency toward the lightening of the yellow spots, and the 
elimination of the red, or its reduction to a brownish shade on 
primaries, or secondaries, or both,—complete or hemi-albinism. 


It is obvious that great confusion will arise if an attempt is made 
to name aberrant forms that are intermediate in the extent or degree 
of this variation,—in fact there is serious doubt as to the advis- 
ability of applying names tc any aberrant forms whatsoever. Since, 
however, authorities continue to include such aberrations in their 
lists, it seems advisable to confine such naming within reasonable 
limits, and relegate to the synonymy all aberrant forms that do 
not carrry a given tendency to its ultimate degree of expression. 


In the group under consideration we have two names that are 
generally accepted,—i. e. H. chalcedona ab. mariana Barnes, repre- 
senting complete melanism, and #. chalcedona ab. fusimacuia Barnes, 
representing complete fusion of yellow maculations. In addition 
Mr. Jean Gunder has proposed two names to cover partial or com- 
plete albinism, (hemiluteofuscus and omniluteofuscus). 


In this paper we shall leave out of consideration the albinic 
tendency, and confine our analysis to the melanic and fused types. 


The confusing element with which we have to deal here is that 
the tendency toward these aberrant patterns may occur in the pri- 
maries only, or be confined to the secondaries, and be in combina- 
tion with the normal maculation on those wings which are not 
involved,—or there may be a fusion on one pair and an obscuration 
of the other. 


We thus have a long list of possible combinations. The scheme 
of these possible variants is expressed in the following diagram,— 
and I have appended the names which I propose as new, in this 
formula.

The color plates of these new aberrations were published and 
distributed some time ago. They serve far better to describe the 
types than could a lengthy technical analysis. In order to designate 
type, locality, collector, and repository of type, etc., the following 
brief notes are appended.

Euphydryas chalcedona ab. fusisecunda aberr. nov. 
Superior surface illustrated on Plate 32, figure 12. 


The inferior surface is characterized by a partial fusion of the 
two bands of yellow spots on the secondaries. Probably this fusion 
would be more complete in specimens showing the ideal pattern to 
fit into the scheme which we have outlined. The primaries are 
normal. 

Type. 9 Mt. Wilson, Calif., June 22, 1920. In the collection of 
the Southwest Museum. 


While collecting in the Lake Tahoe region, where Huphydryas 
sierra abounds, we were fortunate in capturing a remarkable example 
of an aberrant form of this species which is worthy of designation. 
We published a figure of this some months ago, so that the detailed 
description seems hardly necessary at this time. It is named 
umbrobasana, and is shown as figure 5 of our color Plate 35. The 
distinguishing feature of the superior aspect is the heavy suffusion 
of the basal areas, particularly of the secondaries, with black,—and 
the tendency toward suffusion and extension of the yellow maculation 
in the limbal area. 


The inferior surface is not figured, and is therefore dealt with 
in greater detail. 


Primaries, fringes and marginal area as in the normal form. The 
submarginal double rows of yellow spots are blended into a single 
wide band, separated into oblongate spots by narrow black nervules, 
and becoming obsolescent toward the lower third of wing. Four 
blurred yellow dashes occur lateral to the cell. The black lines 
crossing the cell are blurred and suffused with black. 


The secondaries are very striking in appearance, due to the fact 
that the submarginal row of yellow crescents and the extra-discal 
row of yellow spots have extended toward each other and fused, 
thus eliminating the usual interposed red and black-margined area, 
and forming a continuous wide yellow band extending almost across 
the wing. A few red scales slightly invade this at the costal and 
anal edges, which is all that remains of the normal central red row 
of spots. The nervules, however, are narrowly defined in black. 


The basal area is a clear field of red, except for one small black 
circle at outer end of each cell, pupillated in yellow. 


Holotype ¢ Lake Tahoe region, July, 1922. 


This name was mentioned, after I had distributed my colored 
plates, by Mr. Jean Gunder (Entomological News, July, 1925, Vol. 
XXXVI) where he states that “wmbrobasana, as its name indicates, 
is a more melanic aberration of sierra, and several degrees opposite 
to magdelenae.” 

We have received from Mr. Jean Gunder a number of aberrant 
examples of Huphydryas colon which were captured by our good friend 
Otto Huellemann of Wallace, Idaho, for whom I name this interesting 
variant. 


31 


Euphydryas colon ab. huellemanni aberr. nov. 

Superior surface, ground color black. Marginal row of red 
spots on primaries and secondaries practically suppressed. Sub- 
marginal rows of yellow spots on primaries present but slightly 
blurred, Extra-discal area occupied by three long yellow dashes, 
which are powdered laterally by a few red scales. Basal area solid 
black. The double row of yellow spots normally occurring on sec- 
ondaries are obsolescent except for a few minute points. The basal 
half of secondaries, a rich black. 

Inferior surface, much as in normal colon except for a partial, 
(or in one case a complete) suppression of the yellow spots in 
the basal area of secondaries, and their replacement with black. 
There is also a tendency toward extension and blurring of the yellow 
maculations. 

9 Much as in male, although our allotype shows some tendency 
toward the retention of the marginal row of red spots on the superior 
surface. Further description seems unnecessary in view of our pub- 
lication of colored figures some months ago.

Euphydryas rubicunda ab. rubrosuffusa aberr. nov. 

Superior surface illustrated on plate 34, figure 15. 

The inferior surface differs from the typical insect only in the 
partial suppression of the black lines on the secondaries. These are 
entirely absent in the area between the submarginal crescents and 
the extra discal row of yellow spots, and this area is wider than 
normal. It is a field of clear brick red, except for a delicate dentate 
stripe of yellow running through it at about the centre. 

Type. @ Mammoth, Mono Co., Calif., July 28, 1921. Loaned 
from the collection of Mr. George Malcolm. 

The females of Melitaea palla show a tendency toward the pro- 
duction of a dark form, one phase of which was named eremita by 
W. G. Wright. The example which he chose for his type does not, 
however, represent the extreme to which this melanism (if such it is) 
may be carried. On our color plate 36, figure 19, we picture an 
example which is probably the ultimate extent to which this “dark- 
ening” is carried. We have called this— 

Melitaea palla ab. stygiana aberr. noy. 

The superior surface is so accurately pictured on our plate as 
to render a description superfluous. The inferior surface shows 
little variation from that of usual maculation of eremita, and our 
figure 18 on this same plate may serve to illustrate this.

Type and paratypes in the collection of Mr. Jean Gunder, Pasa- 
dena, Calif. 

A remarkable aberration of Melitaea gabbii is illustrated op 
Plate 36, figure 6, which demonstrates the same tendency in this 
species that we have noted in the case of palla with its dimorphic 
females eremita and stygiana. We propose for this the name— 


32 


Melitaea gabbii ab. gunderi aberr. nov. 

The illustration pictures accurately the superior surface of this 
butterfly. It will be noted that it compares to stygiana in the palla 
series, although it is probably of much rarer occurrence. 


On the inferior surface we have the usual lustrous white spots, 
with the remaining portions of the wing heavily suffused with black 
scales. These have entirely replaced the normal orange-yellow areas 
and spots of the secondaries, and on the primaries have caused a 
darkening of the entire wing and a blurring, but not an entire 
eradication of the maculations. 


Type. @ San Fernando, Calif., April 6, 1919. In the collection 
of the Southwest Museum. 


Named for Mr. Jean Gunder. 


Melitaea gabbii ab. newcombi aberr. nov. 


Superior surface accurately pictured on our Plate 36, figure 5. 
This corresponds to eremita in the pailla series. 

The inferior surface is practically that of normal gabbii except 
that there is a tendency toward an increase of the black scales and 
their invasion of the orange areas. This is more marked on the 
primaries. ; 


Type. © Pasadena, Calif., April 7, 1917. In the collection ’of the 
Southwest Museum. Named for our friend Mr. Hal Newcomb. 


Melitaea malcolmi sp. nov. 


This is illustrated on our color plate 36, figures 10, 11 and 12, 
with sufficient accuracy to render a lengthy description unnecessary. 
It will be noted that it differs from gabbii in having a uniform 
ground color of a duller shade, with a heavier powdering of black 
in the basal area. The ground color of the female is of a con- 
siderably lighter shade than the male. On the inferior surface, the 
lustrous spots of secondaries are less pearly than those of gabbii 
but more so than in palla.

All collected by Mr. George Malcolm, for whom I take pleasure 
in naming the species. 
“ This is very close to Melitaea flavula B. & McD. and may prove 
to be a local race of this species. 


Our color plate 37, figure 13, depicts an interesting aberrant of 
Melitaea chara which. we have called— 


Melitaea chara ab. nitela aberr. nov., which is characterized by 
a lustrous white ground color on the underside of secondaries, crossed 
in the limbal area by a band of connected quadrate yellow spots, 
with fine black margins. Four small squares also occur in the basal 
area, two of which are in relation to the cell..—and a few irregular 
yellow spots are grouped close to the basal junction of the wing. 

The under side of primaries is more uniformly yellow than in 
typical specimens, on account of the suppression of most of the 
black lines. 

The superior surface differs from typical chara in the reduction 
of black lines throughout the discal area of both pairs of wings, and 
a lessened amount of black scaling throughout, which gives the 
suggestion of a lighter form. 


Type. ¢ Near Palm Springs, Coachella Valley, Calif., April 5, 
1921. In the collection of the Southwest Museum. 


33 


Tharsalea arota r. nubila race nov. 


Superior surface; primaries; differs from typical arota in the 
darker shading, which is of a brownish coppery hue with no suggestion 
of the violet over-tint characteristic of both arota and virginiensis, and 
in the greater width and clearer definition of the dark margin. 


Secondaries of the same shade and with equally wide dark mar- 
gins, which are continued along the costal edge and into the basal area. 
The tails average slightly shorter, and there is an almost complete 
eradication of the orange stripe and submarginal lunules in this area, 
except for a slight suggestion on the tail itself. 


Fringes brown, except toward the anal angle where they become 
gray to whitish. 


Interior surface; practically as in typical arota except for the al- 
most complete suppression of the red line in centre of tail and the 
red submarginal lunules connecting with it, which are a constant 
feature of both arota and virginiensis. 


9 Superior surface; primaries; much darker than in the typical 
insect, and with- a reduction of the orange maculations to about half 
the area of the corresponding markings in arota. There are no orange 
scalings near the posterior angle of wing, which makes the wide dark 
marginal area (nearly ¥% inch in width) continuous from apex to pos- 
terior angle. No orange scaling occurs posterior to the submedian vein. 


Secondaries; clear dark brown, except for four or five narrow 
orange lunules, beginning at the anal angle,—a line of orange extended 
onto the tail, and three small orange patches lateral and inferior to 
the cell. 


Interior surface; much as in male, except for a slight suffusion of 
orange medial to the submarginal white lunules of primaries, shading 
to yellow in the limbal area. 


Thorax and abdomen as in arota. 


We have examined arota from central and northern California, 
and compared Oberthur’s figure of the tyne. A series of virginiensis 
from Virginia City, Nevada, have also been used in this comparison. 
Nubila shows much greater divergence from the typical insect than 
does virginiensis. 


Types. Holotype ¢ Griffith Park, Los Angeles, California, July 
2, 1922. Allotype 9 same locality and date. The holotype and allo- 
type figured on our Plate 51, figures 2 and 3. Paratypes, 21 ¢ 4

collection of the Southwest Museum. Paratypes will be placed in 
the Barnes collection, in the Naticnal Museum, and in the Canadian 
National collection at Ottawa, and in the collection of Jean Gunder, 
Pasadena. : 


We take this to be a dark southern race of arota, but it is more 
deserving of rank as a distinct species than is virginiensis.

BOTANICAL SURVEY OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 
ENGREVATION: TOT LH SUD Or 
ALLERGIC DISEASES. 


GEORGE PINESS, M.D., HYMAN MILLER, M.D., H. E. McMINN, M.A. 


Los Angeles, California. 


With the establishment of the etiologic relationship between 
plant pollens and the allergic diseases, such as asthma and hay- 
fever, the necessity for careful study of regional botany by the 
worker in this branch of medicine was soon realized. Thus it is 
that Scheppegrell, Hall, Sefridge, Watson and Kibler, Phillips, Mullin, 
Bernton, Stier, Templeton, Duke and Durham, and Kahn have pub- 
lished reports of botanical surveys of the particular regions in which 
they were interested and from which their patients were drawn. 


That a botanical survey must be considered an essential requisite 
for the intelligent treatment of asthma and hay-fever is evident from 
the following considerations. 


1. The identification of the plants which are wind-pollinated, in 
a particular district, is necessary in order to ascertain the proper 
correlation between skin reactions and the pollens with which the 
patient may come into contact. 


2. The checking of the dates of pollination is necessary so that 
the date of initiation of treatment may be properly gauged.

8. Information as to the relative abundance, size (Fig. 1.), dura- 
tion and the yearly variation of the pollinating seasons, is necessary 
in order that those of relatively little importance may not be given 
too great weight in judging with which pollens one should treat. 
However, the final criteria for determining the species which cause 
hay-fever and asthma are the skin reactions obtained by testing 
with an extract prepared from the pollens together with the success 
obtained from such treatments. 


It was with a view to obtaining information such as that outlined 
above that the present survey of southern California was undertaken. 
The survey consists of data collected within the last eight years while 
on extensive pollen collecting and special survey trips; from the 
herbaria of Pomona College at Claremont, California and the Univer- 
sity of California at Berkeley; and a herbarium of about 175 species 
of wind-pollinated plants which has been prepared in the course of the 
work. These data include observations on the geographic and eco- 
logic distribution, time of pollinating, abundance, size and character of 
the pollen, and other biological factors pertinent to the flora under 
consideration. 


Since the geographic range, the nature of the soil, topography, 
and climate of a region determine the number and variety of species 
of plants within it, a brief summary of these factors is herein in- 
cluded. 


By southern California (Map I) reference is made to that por- 
tion of the State lying south of the Tehachapi Mountains. This 
region includes the counties of Santa Barbara, Ventura, Los Angeles, 
Orange, San Diego, Imperial, Riverside, and San Bernardino. It lies 
between 32° 35’ and 35° north latitude and between the 114th and 
119th meridian west. Its western boundary is the Pacific Ocean; 
its southern, Lower California; its eastern, the Colorado River, which 
separates it from Arizona; and its northern, a series of crossing 
mountain ranges extending from the Sierra Nevada to the Coast 
Ranges. 


The topography of the region is very irregular, broken by many 
mountain ranges and separated by narrow passes or valleys of 
various sizes. The eastern part of the region is comprised of the 
arid desert wastes east of the San Bernardino and San Jacinto moun- 
tains. They consist for the most part of the Mojave and Colorado 
Deserts, separated by the Cottonwood and Chuckawalla Mountains. 
The western portion of the region is made up of the San Rafael, Santa 
Inez, Santa Monica, Santa Ana, Palomar, Cuyamaca, San Gabriel, 
San Jacinto, and San Bernardino Mountains and the intervening val- 
leys. These, in a general way, extend parallel to the coast line. 
The coastal ranges arise from sea level or valley bottoms to alti- 
tudes reaching 4,000 feet. Some of the mountains of the central 
ranges reach altitudes of over 10,000 feet. 


Many of the valleys of the western or coastal side of the moun- 
tains and foothills are very fertile and when water is abundant support 
a luxuriant vegetation. Several, however, are interspersed with low 
alkaline flats, gravelly mesas, and washes. The valleys on the east- 
ern slopes are usually much drier and the flora. for the most part, 
is of the desert type. The coastal region, in several places consists 
% extensive alkaline marshes which support a saline type of vegeta- 
ion. 


The climate of southern California, although usually considered 
as rather uniform, is in fact quite diversified. As a general rule 
relatively scant rainfall and high temperature are characteristic, 
these features becoming more and more pronounced toward the cen- 
tral and eastern sections of the regions which are not reached by the 


38

diameter and Bermuda Grass (Capriola dactylon) 25 microns in 
diameter emphasizing the non-importance of the former and the 
importance of the latter in the etiology of hay-fever by wind- 
blown pollens. 


Fig. 2. Johnson Grass (Holcus halepensis) 


cooling effect of the ocean breezes. Since the mountain ranges lie 
parallel to the coast line, their axis therefore, extend generally at 
right angles to the direction of the prevailing storm winds. As a re- 
sult it is on these ranges, mainly during the winter and spring months, 
that the greatest rainfall in this region occurs. The average annual 
rainfall for the coastal and mountain regions ranges from ten (San 
Diego) to thirty inches (Cuyamaca), while some of the desert slopes 
and flats receive as little as two inches annually. During the sum- 
mer and fall there is almost perpetual sunshine and during these 
seasons there is very little chance that rains will clear the atmos- 
phere of the wind-blown pollens as is so frequently the case in the 
districts east of the Rocky Mountains. 


There is also a great range in temperature. One may stand in 
Los Angeles or Pasadena in January, with the thermometer register- 
ing 60° F., and witness a terrific snowstorm on the mountains. Sta- 
tions on the deserts, during July and August, register as high as 118° F. 

In a region like the one herein limited, where topography is so 
varied and the climate likewise diverse, it is not surprising that there 
are about 350 species of native or naturalized plants in this district 
that may be considered as wind-pollinated. For the sake of conven- 
ience as well as from a practical viewpoint the species have been 
grouped under three divisions, these agreeing to some extent with the 
season of flowering. The first of these is comprised of spring pol- 


40 


Fig. 3. Carelessweed (Amaranthus palmeri) 


linated trees and shrubs; the second of the grasses, sedges, and 
rushes; and the third of weeds. In the first group there are 63 na- 
tive species comprised of Pines (11), Incense Cedar (1), Big Cone 
Spruce (1), Fir (1), Junipers (2), Cypress (1), Ephedras (4), Willows 
(9), Poplars (2), Oaks (13), Alder (1), Walnuts (2), Sycamore (1), 
Maples (3), Chinquapin (1) (summer), Ashes (4), Silk-tassel-bushes 
(4), Wax Myrtle (1), and Hackberry (1). The italicized species may 
be factors during their pollinating periods in the spring and early sum- 
mer but the other species, either on account of their rarity, local 
distribution, distance from settled localities or from failure to pro- 
duce skin reactions, are not considered as factors in this region. 
Various introduced species of trees are grown as ornamental and 
street trees and may be an occasional cause of hay-fever during the 
early spring. 


The second group is made up of about 120 species of grasses and 
50 species of sedges and rushes. None of the species of rushes 
(Juncus) and only two of sedges have given positive skin reactions, 
and members of these botanical groups have therefore not been in- 
cluded in this survey. 


The 120 species of grasses represent 53 genera but many of the 
species are of such local and scattered distribution, or yield so little 
pollen, that they cannot, from a botanical viewpoint, be considered 
as important factors in causing hay-fever. The most important 


41 


LANTS OF CAUPORATA 


Fig. 4. Allscale (Atriplex polycarpa) 


grasses, based upon abundance, general distribution and amount of 
pollen produced are Bermuda Grass (Capriola), Brome Grasses 
(Bromus), Johnson Grass (Holcus) Fig. 2, Ray or Rye Grasses (Lo- 
lium), Melic Grass (Melica), Blue-grass (Poa), Canary Grasses 
(Phalaris), Stipa Grasses (Stipa), Wild Rye-grasses (Elymus), Koeler’s 
Grass (Koeleria), Wild Oats (Avena), Barnyard Grass (Echinochloa) 
Red Top (Agrostis), and Fescue (Festuca). 


The third group contains some of the most important hay-fever 
plants. This is due to the abundance of plants, their wide distri- 
bution, amount of light pollen produced, and long duration of their 
pollinating periods. Several of the weeds begin pollinating in spring 
and early summer and continue until late fall. About 96 species are 
included in this group, the most important ones being the Amaranths 
(Amaranthus) Fig. 3, Chenopods (Chenopodium), Franserias (includ- 
ing the False Ragweeds), Western Ragweed (Ambrosia psilostachya), 
Scale-bushes (Atriplex) Fig. 4, Russian Thistle (Salsola kali), Cockle- 
burs (Xanthium), and Sagebrush (including the Sageworts-Artemisia) 
Fig. 5. The Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris and sub-species), is per- 
haps the most frequent cause of the fall type of hay-fever. It is 
very common in low ground and hills of the entire central and west- 
ern parts of the region. It pollinates profusely from July to the mid- 
dle of September, often continuing until late October in some places. 
The pollen is very light and small, measuring 28 microns long, and 


42 


Fig. 5. Mugwort (Artemisia vulgaris) 


43 


19 microns wide. The genus Atriplex is another group which con- 
tains species of wide range (Map 1) producing abundant light pollen 
and must be considered a very important factor in the summer and 
fall type of hay-fever. 


The accompanying chart shows the relative abundance, distribu- 
tion, and pollinating periods of the most important hay-fever plants 
of southern California. 


SUMMARY: 


The very diversified topography including shorelines, inland al- 
kaline valleys, deserts, mountains, fertile fields, and waste places ren- 
der possible the existence of over 350 species of wind-pollinating 
plants in southern California. 


Many of these species, on account of their restricted local dis- 
tribution, distance from centers of population, amount and character 
of pollen, and abundance of plants are not important factors in caus- 
ing hay-fever and asthma. All species, however, must be taken into 
consideration when studying individual cases. 


Statistical studies of the results of treatment with the supposedly 
offending pollens show sufficient clinical results to warrant their in- 
clusion amongst the therapeutic agents in hay-fever and asthma. 


The data cbtained in the survey as outlined above and tabulated 
in the Chart furnish the information necessary for their intelligent 
application to the clinical study of patients who give skin reactions 
to light, wind-blown pollens.

“ CEREUS MUNZII sp. nov. 
S. B. PARISH 

Stems oblong, 10-20 cm. long, growing in compact cushion-like 
clumps of 10-60; ris 10-20, rather low, tuberculately irregular; spines 
in clusters of 10-16, Subulate, unequal, the 1-4 centrals 2.5-5 ecm. long, 
the others slenderer, 2-3 cm. long, all whitish, becoming ashy-gray; 
flowers campanulaie, 3-4 cm. broad, cerese pink, the ovary and short 
tube bearing clusters of short, unequal, slender, white spines, their 
axils containing short, crisped white wool, as do those of the other 
spines; fruit rose-red, obovoid, 2.5 cm. high, crowned by the withered 
floral segments and densely covered with clusters of about 10 white, 
acicular spines, ajout 1 cm. long, readily deciduous, the white pulp 
containing numerous small rugose seeds, edible. 

Growing on dry, stony slopes at the lower edge of the pine belt, 
at 1,400-2,000 m. altitude in the San Bernardino and the San Jacinto 
Mountains to northern Lower California. Type in the herbarium of 
the University of California, collected 2 miles below Kenworthy, 
Thomas Valley, Riverside County, alt. 1,400 )m., May 21, 1922, Munz 
& Johnston 5570. Other collections are: —Hastern end of Big Bear 
Valley, San Bernardino Mountains, alt. 2,000 m. June 13, 1922, P. A. 
Munz 5759; about 47 miles southeast of Tecate, Lower California, 
alt. 1,400 m. Munz 9612. 

Of the subgenus Echinocereus and near C. mojavensis Engelm., 
from which it is distinguished chiefly by the color of the flowers, 
without intergrades. It occupies a distinct altitudinal and geo- 
graphic range, the two species approaching one another on the east 
side of the San Bernardino Mountains, whence C. mojavensis extends 
to southern Nevada, and ©. munzii in the opposite direction to Lower 
California.

STUDIES IN PACIFIC COAST LEPIDOPTERA 


(Continued) 


Dr. John Adams Comstock 
A NEW ABERRANT BUTTERFLY FROM SOUTHERN 
CALIFORNIA, 


In our series of Glaucopsyche lygdamus behrii, southern race aus- 
tralis, we find three specimens in which the line of spots on the 
secondaries has entirely disappeared. For this aberration we _ pro- 
pose the name— 

Glaucopsyche lygdamus behrii 

race australis, ab. sinepunctata aberr. nov. 

This corresponds, on the superior surface, to Grinnell’s type of aus- 
tralis (comparison having been made with the type specimen which 
has been kindly loaned to us by Mr. Jean Gunder, for illustrating on 
our color plate 56.) The principal difference lies in the complete 
obliteration of the line of spots crossing the inner part of the limbal 
area on under side of secondaries, and also the entire absence of 
spots in the basal area. The wing is therefore immaculate except 
for a slight suggestion of a white line or dash near the outer edge of 
cell. There is a slight reduction of the spots crossing the under 
side of primaries. 

The type is figured on our plate 56, to be subsequently published. 

Type ¢ Mint Canyon, Los Angeles County, Calif., May 1st, 1921. 

Paratype No. 1. $ Same locality, April 1920. 

Paratype No. 2. ¢ Same locality, and date.

NEW MOLLUSCAN SPECIES FROM THE 
CALIFORNIAN PLIOCENE 
BY CARLTON M. CARSON 


Stanford University 


The types and paratypes of the forms described in this paper 
are in the Leland Stanford Junior University type collection. 

The writer wishes to acknowledge his indebtedness to Dr. James 
Perrin Smith for his assistance and suggestions, to Mrs. Ida S. Oldroyd 
for help in identifying the living forms and to Mr. Leo G. Hertlein 
for his aid in the preparation of this paper. 

The names of the species described in this paper have been used 
by the writer in a discussion of the Pliocene faunal zones of Southern 
California in a paper which was published in the Pan-Amer. Geol. 
Vol. 43, May 1925. The undescribed species listed there are all 
described in the present paper. 


Descriptions of New Species 
Cancellaria elodiae, n. Sp. 


Plate 1. Fig. 1. 


Shell thick, ventricose, spire low, about five rapidly enlarging 
whorls, body chamber large, suture distinct but not channeled; body 
whorl sculptured with about twenty-four spiral ridges with wider 
interspaces; intercalaries rare; fine axial riblets present on upper 
three whorls but almost obsolete on the body chamber; inside of 
cuter lip showing fine riblets, aperture semilunar, canal short, straight, 
open; pillar straight with two narrow but high plaits with narrow 
interspace, external siphonal fasciole present but not prominent. 
Height of type 64 mm., diameter of type 37 mm., apical angle 70°. 

Type No. 109 in L. S. J. U. collection. 

Fernando Formation, lower Pliocene of Fugler’s Point, Santa 
Barbara Co., Calif. Collected by J. O. Lewis. 

This species resembles ©. perrini Carson but differs from it in 
having less prominent axial ribbing, no nodes, no shoulder, and slightly 
less prominent external siphonal fasciole. This species also resembles 
C.-palmeri Carson but differs in being smaller, in having a more oval 
aperture, and in having a lower spire. 

This species is associated with Janira, Ostrea veatchii, Alectrion 
moranianus, Miopleionia oregonensis, Cryptoconus carpenterianus, Car- 
dium meekanum and Paphia staleyi. 


Conus beali n. Sp. 
Plate 1. Fig. 2. 

Shell medium thick, whorls five or more and slightly convex on 
the table, distinctly tabulate, spire high; body whorl slightly con- 
tracted below; sculpture consisting of faint, small, spirally revolving 
ridges at base of body whorl, becoming obsolete above. Height of 
type 64 mm., diameter of type 32 mm. 

Type No. 115 in L. S. J. U. collection. 

Fernando Formation, lower Pliocene of the Puente Hills, Orange 
Co., Calif. Locality N. W. %4 Sec. 25, R. 2S 11W. of San Bernardino 
Meridian. R. N. Ferguson, collector. 

In the Fernando beds of the Puente Hills are also found the fol- 
lowing species:—Astrea breaensis, Conus californica. Trochita radians, 
Chione elsmerensis, Chione fernandoensis. Panope generosa, Solen 
sicarius, Thracia trapezoides and leaves and wood fragments referred 
to Salix and Quercus cf. agrifolia.

PLATE 


50 


Cancellaria fugieri Arnold 
Plate 1. Fig. 3. 


Shell medium thick, narrowly oval in outline, with six regularly 
enlarging convex whorls and two nuclear whorls, whorls prominently 
angulated above forming a narrow revolving table anterior to the su- 
ture; suture distinct, channeled, apex small and sharp; sculpture reticu- 
late, strong, composed of twenty-three narrow, rounded, spirally revoly- 
ing ridges with wider interspaces each carrying one thread-like inter- 
calary and thirty-six longitudinal ridges which grow weaker toward 
the base of the last whorl, aperture ovate, canal short and open, 
pillar straight, carrying two rather wide oblique plaits, callus very 
thin, the sculpture showing thru; external siphonal fasciole very weak. 
Height of type 48 mm., diameter of type 23 mm., apical angle 53°. 

Pleisiotype No. 105, L. S. J. U. collection. 

Fernando Formation, lower Pliocene of Fugler’s Point, Santa Bar- 
bara Co., Calif. Collected by J. O. Lewis. 

This species is obviously closely related to the recent (C. crawford- 
iana Dall to which it was assigned by Dr. R. Arnold, but differs in the 
tollowing respects:—this species has twenty-three revolving ridges; 
C. crawfordiana has seventeen only; this species has thirty-six longi- 
tudinal ridges; C. crawfordiana has but twenty which are much higher, 
wider and heavier; the adult C. crawfordiana has two major and two 
minor plications which are anterior to the major pblaits on the pillar; 
this species shows but the two major plaits, the external siphonal 
fasciole of C. crawfordiana is much more prominent than that of this 
species. This form is therefore, raised to full specific rank and Ar- 
nold’s varietal name used in the specific sense. 

The following species are also found in this zone::. Alectrion cali- 
fornicus, Miopleionia oregonensis, Cardium meekanum, Ostrea veatchii. 
Janira, Gyrineum tewisti, Cancellaria rapa, Searlesia portolaensis and 
Venericardia californica. 


Cancellaria hamlini n. sp. 
Plate 1. Figs. 4 and 6. 


Shell thick, ventricose, spire high and sharp, whorls five or more; 
suture distinct almost channeled; sculptured with about twenty-six 
square-topped, spiral ridges with narrow, rather closely spaced 
interspaces, often carrying an intercalarie, axial sculpture becomes ob- 
solete at base of body whorl; aperture, canal, pillar, etc. concealed on 
type but aperture on other specimens is ovate. Height of type 36 mm., 
diameter of type 20 mm., apical angle 59°. Height of adult 67 mm., 
diameter of adult 35 mm., apical angle 60°.

Genus EURYMUS Swains 
THE SULPHURS 


The Golden Sulphur (Hurymus occidentalis chrysomelas Hy. Edw.) 
is one of our rarer forms, limited in range to the northern counties, 
where it is occasionally encountered in the months of May, June and 
July. A southern race was separated by Henry Edwards, which is 
smaller and has narrow margins, and which: was named for the 
type locality, Santa Barbara. This form, The Barbara Sulphur (2H. 
occidentalis barbara Hy. Edw.) has been confused with Harford’s Sul- 
phur by the majority of California collectors, probably as a result 
of Wright’s figures * which show specimens of H. harfordi as barbara. 
Our plate 15 pictures the Golden Sulphur, figures 7, 9 and 10, and 
the Barbara Sulphur, figure 8. The latter specimen is the one which 
was figured by Drs. Barnes and McDunnough in their Contributions, 
Volume 3, Plate VII, figure 9. It was loaned to us for this plate 
through the courtesy of Dr. William Barnes. Foodplant: probably 
various species of the Fabaceae (Bean family). 


Harford’s Sulphur (#. harfordii Hy. Edw.) is common in the 
mountains of Southern California, and is taken with increasing rarity 
as it approaches the northern limit of its range in Contra Costa and 
adjacent counties. It is a mid-summer species. The larvae have been 
reared on rattleweed (Astragalus. )

Edward’s Sulphur (2. alexandra edwardsii Edw.) is a western race 
of the Alexandra Sulphur, occuring in the Mono basin, and the high 
desert plateaus east of the Sierra Nevadas, and the desert lands to 
the north. It is comparatively rare. 

The caterpillar probably feeds on such leguminous plants as As- 
tragalus, Thermopsis, and other members of the bean family. 

Illustrated on Plate 15, figures 11, 12 and 13. 

Behr’s Sulphur (EH. behrii Edw.) was at one time considered our 
rarest species of the group on account of its restricted range, com 
parative isolation and short season. To secure it, one must scale our

noble Sierras in mid-summer and seek the glacial flower-strewn mea- 
dows. In sunny days of late July it fairly swarms in favored lo- 
calities above Yosemite. Mineral King seems to be about its south 
ern limit. 


The larvae feed on the dwarf billberry (Vaccinium caespitosum ) 
and Gentian newberryi. 


Illustrated on Plate 16, figures 1 to 3. 


The females occur in two forms, a dull yellow and a whitish, both 
of which are heavily obscured with the characteristic green. To the 
latter form the author has given the name canescens. It is shown 
on figure 4 of Plate 16.

Genus EUREMA Hbn. 


The Mexican Yellow (Hurema mexicana Bdvy.) is an occasional 
capture in the southern counties of the state. It is evidently double 
brooded, as records are available for the spring and fall months. 
More commonly it is reported from lowland desert areas, but an 0oc- 
casional specimen finds its way into the mountainous districts. 


Little is known of its metamorphosis, but the larval food-plant 
is probably Cassia. 


Illustrated. Plate 16. ¢ fig. 5; 9 fig. 7; ¢ umderside, fig. 6. 


The Nicippe Yellow (Hurema nicippe Cram.) is our most abun- 
dant member of the genus in Southern California, due to the frequent 
use of introduced Cassias as ornamental garden shrubs. Santa Bar- 
bara is about the northern limit of its range. The species breeds 
continuously throughout the year, the first generation appearing in 
April or May, and the insect becoming increasingly plentiful as the 
season advances, until the first cold spell of our short winter puts 
it ‘out of the running.’ 


Early stages. Egg: elongate, conical, tapering at both ends, 
and ribbed with low longitudinal lines. There are a few transverse 
striations at the upper end only. Color, yellow. The eggs are, aS a 
rule, laid singly on the under surfaces of tender leaves, but oc- 
casionally one is deposited on the upper surface. (See Figure 9.) 


Caterpillar: velvety-green, with a fine whitish-yellow stripe 
laterally placed. 


Chrysalis. This is illustrated in our cut (figure 14) which ren- 
ders a description unnecessary. The color is an olive-green, with 
occasionally a few russet spots. 


Larval foodplants: Cassia and other Leguminosae.

The Little Sulphur (Hwrema lisa Bdv. & Lec.) synonym euterpe 
Men. has been listed for California by one of the early collectors, 
but Jater work over a period of many years has failed to substantiate 
the record. It is comparatively common in Southern Arizona, and 
there seems to be no reason why it should not become established 
in this state, in view of favorable climatic conditions and an abun- 
dance of foodplant. The larvae feed on Cassia and clover. 


Early stages. These were figured by Boisduval, but a careful 
recording of each stage in the metamorphosis remains to be done. 


Illustrated. Plate 16. ¢@ fig. 11; 9 fig. 13; @ underside, fig. 12. 


The Delia Sulphur (Huwrema demoditas Hbn.) synonym delia Cram. 
is another species recorded for the state in the early days, and of 
which no confirmation has since been made. It is normally an in- 
habitant of the Gulf states. The early stages are probably similar 
to those of lisa. 


Illustrated. Plate 16. 9 fig. 14; @ underside, fig. 16. 


Few illustrations of the early stages of California butterflies are 
available to nature students. This phase of the subject offers a fas- 
cinating field of research for the western lepidopterist. The com- 
plete metamorphoses of a large number of native species is entirely 
unknown, in spite of the ready availability of material for -study. Col- 
lectors are urged to gather the eggs and caterpillars of every species 
that it is possible for them to secure, and to record their findings. 
The author will gladly cooperate in this work. 


A number of drawings of butterfly eggs, caterpillars and chry- 
salids are published in this issue of the Bulletin, which will consti- 
tute the first of a series of such illustrations dealing with the known 
life histories of our native forms.

The retention of Parishii as a species is a question of doubtful pro- 
cedure. S. Parishii runs into Sierran materia! of S. oreophilus and 
into material to-the east, but it seems unwise to make any nomen- 
clatural changes, without making a more thorough study of the re- 
lationships of the S. oreophilus and S. rotundifolius group.

This variety is found in our region from Santa Barbara Co. south 
and east to the Mexican border. Its habitat is the coastal valleys 


72 


though it ascends the canyons to about 5,000 feet altitude. The follow- 
ing specimens were studied: Santa Barbara Co.: South side of 
Gaviota Pass, Munz 9299 (Po); Shepard’s, Abrams in 1908 (St); La 
Cumbre Trail, Santa Inez Mts., Abrams 4309 (St). Los Angeles Co.: 
Summit, Santa Susanna Mts., Moxley & Grinnell 498 (St); Topango Can- 
yon, Santa Monica Mts., Munz & Harwood 3988 (Po, St); Sepulveda

Wilson Trail, Grant in 1900 (St), 1260 (St); Monrovia Canyon, Peirson 
440 (FP); Wilson’s Peak, Brown in 1894 (Po); Evey Canyon, Johnston 
2127 (Po, St); Hills south of Pomona, Johnston: 2002 (Po, St); Po- 
mona, Munzg 2270 (Po). San Bernardino Co.: Devil’s Canyon, Parish 
11340 (Po); North fork Deep Creek, Johnston 2866 (Po); Waterman’s 
Canyon, Parish 2215 (St); San Bernardino Mt. S. B. & W. F. Parish 
481 (St). San Diego Co.: Laguna, Munz 2173 (Po), 2685 (Po), Mearns 
& Schoenfeldt 3555 (St); Witch Creek, Abrams 4912 (St); Smith Mt., 
Parish in 1897 (St); Buckman Spring, Stokes in 1895 (St), Cleveland 
in 1884 (St); Spencer Valley near Julian, Abrams 3785 (St); 8 mi. 
nerth of Descanso, Munz & Harwood 7174 (Po); near Summit, Pine 
Hills, Spencer 336 (Po). Santa Catalina Island, Avalon, Grant (St), 
Eagle Nest, Grant & Wheeler 6155 (St). 


The only differences that I can find either in the specimens studied 
or in the literature between S. albus and S. mollis is a greater pubes- 
cence in the foliage and a less pubescence in the throat of the corolla 
in the southern material (mollis). For this reason I cannot consider 
mollis as a distinct species. This situation is somewhat in agreement 
with Fernald’s observation (Rhodora 7:167. 1905) that “much of the 
northwestern material which is passing as S. mollis, Nutt., seems in- 
separable from S. racemosus.” (S. albus). Blake pointed out (Rhodora 
16:117-119. 1914) that S. albus is an earlier name for the material 
that has commonly gone as S. racemosus. 


At the upper limits of its altitudinal range S. mollis offers some 
puzzling intergradations with Parishii. For example Munz 9815 from 
shaded slopes of Middle Peak, Cuyamaca Mts., 5,500 feet alt., bent over 
and rooted at the tips as Parishii so often does. ;

INBREEDING OF JUNONIA COENIA (LEPID.) 
THROUGH THIRTY-FIVE SUCCESSIVE 


GENERATIONS 
WILHELM SCHRADER, Los Angeles, Cal. 


Every nature lover marvels over the wonderful coloring and 
marking of our thousands of different species of butterflies. My in- 
terest in these beautiful insects was aroused as a small boy, and 
now, at three score years, this interest deepens, the longer I am 
able to carry on experiments. 


It is obvious that the many thousands of different patterns evi- 
denced in butterflies were not produced at one time, but are the result 
of a series of gradual changes. It is a fascinating pursuit to endeavor 
to determine the factors that are operative in their production, and 
to produce by experimental means in a short space of time, changes 
that, in a state of nature are the result of many centuries. 


This I have accomplished in a measure, as a result of intensive 
breeding, with a variety of artificially produced environments. 


Experimentation in this field was begun in 1906, in a small sunny 
room, and with very little time at my disposal. The results of this 
earlier work were published in various scientific journals. The ter- 
rible world war, and consequent business depression, had its effect 
in inhibiting many scientific activities, and it is only at this time 
that matters have shaped themselves for a further recording of work 
carried on since my last published notes. 


A brief summary of former experimentation will first be given, 
but before introducing this I wish to thank Dr. John Comstock, the 
president of the Southern California Academy of Sciences, for his 
aid and encouragement in this work. As the result of these experi- 
ments is of educational value, I will present all of the original speci- 
mens described and illustrated on the two accompanying plates, to 
one of the local museums, for permanent exhibition. 


There seems to have been some misunderstanding by some of 
my former readers, as to the meaning of the term inbreeding, and 
an explanation is here in order. 


Live-stock specialists follow three distinct methods of breeding, 
namely, inbreeding, line-breeding and crossing. The terms are self- 
explanatory. 


Inbreeding has been demonstrated to be the best method of 
rapidly fixing a new point in color or marking. 

This is carried on in the following way; a gravid female of the 
usual type is captured in the open, and imprisoned in a wire cage 
over a potted plant that is known to be the proper food of the species. 
This is placed in a sunny spot, and the female proceeds to oviposit. 
The butterflies finally resulting from these eggs are my first genera- 
tion. These are mated, (brother with sister, to use the common 
vernacular.) Successive generations are paired in the same way, 
care being taken to select examples that show the special points it 
is desired to preserve. 

I have tried line-breeding, by mating two males of the same 
species, captured in separate localities, with two females captured 
in a like manner. The progeny of these two matings were kept 
separate,—one designated line A, the other line B. 

Males of line A were mated with females of line B, and vice 
versa. Hach successive generation was mated in the same manner. 

This form of breeding was found to be productive of little re- 
sult, and was much more difficult to carry on. One drawback re-

sulted from the fact that butterflies live on the average only five 
days. The two lines would often come to maturity at different times 
and could not therefore be bred. 


The crossing of butterflies of different species has not met with 
success, largely because of the fact that the genital organs are of 
quite different types in each species. This does not hold to the same 
extent for certain groups of large moths, which are more primitive 
in structure. Prof. Stanfuss, of Zurich, Switzerland, and other experi- 
mentors, have met with some success in the latter group. My own 
work has not included cross-breeding, but has been carried on by 
intensive inbreeding under varying environments, such as high or 
low temperatures, increased moisture, or low humidity, exclusion or 
increase of light, etc. 


This has resulted in demonstrating that these environmental 
combinations have striking results, in combination with selective 
inbreeding, in changing the colors and markings of butterflies. 


Much light has thus been shed on the origin of various ‘changes 
which make for the production of new species. It can hardly be ex- 
pected however, even with the applicaticn of great patience, that radi- 
cal changes can be produced in the short span of one life time, when 
compared with the great amount of time in which nature has operated. 


Every collector of Lepidoptera knows that many butterflies pro- 
duce seasonal forms, the spring generation frequently being quite 
different from that produced in the summer. There are also many 
“sports” arising in a state of nature, which frequently vary in a marked 
degree from the usual insect. 

Many of these latter variations arise, so far as my experiments 
seem to demonstrate, through exposure to heat, from excess of sun- 
light, at a critical time in the development of the chrysalids. Aber- 
rations of this sort are usually too weak, however, to reproduce 
themselves. 

Junonia coenia has proven the ideal species with which to work. 
It is longer lived than the average species, the males remaining active 
about seven days, and the females, when gravid, about two weeks. 
They become quite tame in captivity, and are easy to handle. 


The experiments were begun in a moist air incubator, with a 
temperature of 80 to 90 deg. Fahr. A complete cycle, from egg to 
butterfly was carried through in the short span of one month. 

This rate could not be maintained however, on account of the 
development of contagious diseases. The food plant was cultivated 
in pots to insure its succulency. From 50 to 100 out of each genera- 
tion were retained, a task that was most difficult on account of the 
rapid consumption of the plants. When large enough to be easily re- 
moved, the young larva were transferred to cut stems of garden 
grown plants, which had to be renewed daily. The wire cages had 
to be cleaned every day, to offset the possibility of wilt disease at- 
tacking the caterpillars. Various parasites had to be guarded against, 
and the ants controiled. 

Very moist air will, in most butterflies, produce a darker ground 
color, or an enlargement of dark spots. In Junonia, this change is 
barely perceptible in the first few generations. A few of the females 
develop enlarged ocelli on the fore-wings. 

These are selected, and paired with males of the same inbred 
generation. Hach successive brood shows an increase in the number 
cf females with enlarged spots on the primaries, and eventually the 
largest ocellus shows a tendency to develop an appendix. In the 
course of eight or ten generations a few males will appear with the 
same changes evident. These. when paired with “sisters” will produce 
still more startling results, as will be noted on plate 1, No. 3 9, a 
specimen with dark ground color, and black appendices on the ocelli

of forewings,—and also in specimen No. 4°¢ of the same plate. Both 
these specimens are of the tenth generation. It will be noted that 
these specimens are of unusually large size, contrary to the accepted 
belief that continued inbreeding causes degeneration. I have suc- 
ceeded in maintaining the customary size of this species through 
thirty-five generations. 


After the tenth generation occasional females arise in which a 
light center appears in the aforementioned appendix. 


The best of these were selected and paired. In the 25th gener- 
ation, females were produced with double ocelli, (see plate 1 No. 5 9) 
and males appeared with very large appendices on the ocelli of the 
forewings. (plate 1, No. 6 @.) 

In the females a double white spot will be noted near the outer 
margin in the apex of the forewings. This is the sex mark of the 
females of Junonia. 


Cool Air Experiments 


Making a selection of young caterpillars, from the line bred con- 
tinuously in 80 to 90 deg. I placed these in a specially constructed 
cool room. The temperature was first regulated to about 70 deg. 
to stimulate better growth and not make too rapid a change. Fol- 
lowing this the temperature was reduced to an average of 50 deg. 
Each time that the caterpillars were given new food, which was about 
twice a week, they were placed in 70 deg. temperature for a short 
time only, to give them a good start in feeding. The chrysalids were 
Maintained uninterruptedly in the cooler temperature. It was found 
that the life cycle, in these reduced temperatures, was prolonged to 
about three months, and in cool weather, even longer. 


All of the examples which were transferred from warm to cool 
air as caterpillars, produced striking changes in one generation. 

This was evidenced in the enlargement, and frequently, conflu- 
ence of the ocelli of the secondaries. Note Plate 1, figs. 79 and 8@4. 
The experiment was frequently repeated, and always with the same 
results. Protracted continued cool air inbreeding could not be con- 
tinuously carried on however, as the effect of lower temperatures 
seemed:to destroy the reproductive faculties. 

It was also found that chrysalids taken from a line bred con- 
tinuously in warm air, and transferred to the cool air chamber, 
would, when hatched, show very little change. This seems to estab- 
lish the fact that the influences responsible for the change are oper- 
ative on the caterpillars. 


Dry Air Experiments 


Plate 1, No. 9 9, and No. 10 ¢ are the result of subjection to 
dry air. It will be noted that all ocelli are greatly reduced, and the 
smaller ocelli of the hind wings are obsolete. 

These results were procured with the use of a 75 watt bulb, in 
a specially constructed glass incubator. The procedure is difficult, 
on account of the drying effect on the food plant. This marked 
change in the size, and obsolescence of ocelli appears even in the 
first generation, but only from caterpillars descended from _ butter- 
flies that were raised for many generations in moist air. 

I have twice raised six generations in dry air, but the start 
was made with eggs collected from the outside. In each instance 
there was only a small amount of reduction in size of the ocelli. 


Selective Color Experiments 


On July 5th, 1911, in Los Angeles, I captured a fertile female of 
Junonia, which to all appearances was of the normal form, except 
that it was of a large size. (See Plate 2, No. 1 9.) 


81 


From this example a number of eggs were obtained, which were 
hatched and the caterpillars reared in a temperature of 80 to 90 deg. 
All of the progeny were of much increased size, as will be noted 
from Plate 2, Nos. 2 9 and 3 ¢. The ground color of these speci- 
mens was also darker, and the two orange colored spots of the fore- 
wings hear the costal margin were increased in size. Another marked 
feature was the presence of a purplish irridescence near the costal 
margin of the primaries and around the aforementioned spots. 


I was partcularly interested in this irridescence, (which is evan- 
escent, and fades with time) and desired to improve it by selective 
inbreeding. Experience had demonstrated that a new color develop- 
ment was first evidenced in the females, and only after a considerable 
amount of selective breeding became apparent in the males. 


In the third generation I obtained about 50 per cent of females 
with this purplish hue. In subsequent generations a few males ap- 
peared with the desired color. These were paired with females havy- 
ing the requisite shade. (See plate 2, No. 4 9.) In the eleventh gen- 
eration so much difficulty was experienced with parasites, that the 
original stock was lost. 


On July 12th, 1925, a fertile female was obtained, flying at large. 
From this example over a hundred eggs resulted, which were separated 
in two lots. One of these was subjected to moist warm air, the other 
to dry air with increased temperature. The latter stock was given 
particular attention, in an effort to increase the yellow coloration. 


It was found that the dry warm air chamber markedly acceler- 
ated the rate of growth, to such an extent that at the present writ- 
ing (in a four months period) five generations have reached maturity. 
This is a record for rapid development. 


Plate 2, No. 5 9 shows a female of the first generation, raised 
in the electrically heated incubator, at an average temperature of 
about 85 deg. A variation of ten degrees one way or another seems 
to have little effect in producing color changes. This example showed 
an increase in the yellow coloration over that of the parent, the 
shade having extended in area. 


Plate 2, No. 6 2 is of the second generation. In this specimen the 
yellow extends to the white sex mark in the apex of forewing, the 
ground color is lighter, and the size increased. 


Color Variation 


Plate 2, No.7 ¢@ is an example which was selected from the stock 
in which the yellow coloration was being increased, and was sub- 
jected as a chrysalis to direct sunlight with incident increased tem- 
perature for two hours daily. This is a difficult procedure, as it 
usually results in the death of the specimen. The result was a 
butterfly with darkened ground color, and black borders surrounding 
the ocelli. 


This change probably resulted from the increased temperature 
applied at a critical time in development. 


Plate 2, Nos. 8 9,9 9, and 10 9 show a remarkable range of 
variation in the maculation and color of the under surfaces. All are 
progeny of the female captured July 12, 1925. No. 8 is of the third 
generation bred in dry air and high temperature. It has adopted a 
uniform gray color, probably as an adaptation to the increase in light. 


No. 9 was bred in moist air, in a dark environment. The ocelli 
of the upper surfaces are reduced in size. 


No. 10, bred in cool air developed the purplish-brown shade 
on the inferior surface, which is customary with all examples raised 
under like conditions.

Marcus E. Jones on gravelly hills at Searchlight, Nev., Jan. 5, 1925. 


This species occurs discontinuously in the Larrea Zone from 
southern Utah, through Nevada, to the southeastern borders of the 
Mojave Desert, California, exhibiting a marked difference in the color 
of the corolla, which, so far as is known, is geographically delimited. 
It is readily distinguished from the other Echinocacti of the region 
by its subulate spines, those of the other species being flattened. 
When wet the inner carmine color of the spines shows through the 
gray exterior giving the plant a handsome appearance. The flowers 
open in sunshine for about five days. 

The var. octocentrus is known only from the type collection, Pro- 
fessor Jones, who has studied this species in the field and has it in 
cultivation at Pomona College, has kindly furnished me with valuable 
notes and specimens.

V Echinocactus lecontii Engelm. Proc. Am. Acad. 2:274 (1856). 
The type locality of this species was vaguely given as “On the lower 
part of the Gila and Colorado rivers, and in Sonora,” but in the same 
year (Pac. R. Rept. 4:29) it is more definitely defined as growing 
“Abundantly from Cactus Pass at the head of Williams River, down 
this stream to the Colorado, and west of it till ZH. polycephalus took its 
place,’ that is, nearly to the desert base of the San Bernardino 
Mountains. This appears to be the authority on which Britton & 
Rose (Cact. 3:129-1922) extend its range to “southern California, along 
the Colorado,” for no collections from that region are known. In 
1876 Engelman (Bot. Cal. 1:146) expressed the opinion that the species 
“seems to have been founded on weaker plants of H. wislizeni,’ which 
was confused with the species now known as £#. acanthodes, so far as 
California plants are concerned. It should be sought in the region 
indicated, but its discovery is rather to be hoped for than expected.

recent collections are known, on the statement in Pac. R. Rept. 4:31, 
where it is vaguely reported to have been collected West of the 
Colorado, in the valley of the Mojave, mixed with #. polycephalus, and 
therefore not further noted. . Britton & Rose (Cact. 3:127) refer 
Hmory’s type to #. wislizeni, a species not known to reach this state. 

Sixty and seventy years have passed since these unsatisfactory 
records were made; the region has been explored by recent botanists, 
but neither species has been found. Probably the plants really seen 
by these early explorers were forms of some of the other species 
known to grow in the Mojave Desert.

FAMILY DANAID/A 
Genus DANAUS L. 
The Milkweed Butterflies 


THE MONARCH, (Danaus menippe Hbn.) is the best known of 
our native butterflies, occuring as it does abundantly in every part of 
the continent. It is as stable and dependable as its name seems in- 
constant,—for it has appeared variously in past publications as Anosia 
plexippus, and Danais archippus, and now makes its bow as Danaus 
menippe. We venture the hope that all of the ancient literature 
touching on this familiar insect has now been fine-combed by the 
specialist, and that no archaic designation remains to be unearthed, 
to come forth on the established rule of priority and tumble menippe 
into the discard. The Monarch belongs to a group of butterflies that 
are believed by many writers to have obnoxious qualities which render 
them immune to the attacks of insectivores. This probably accounts 
in part for its abundance and longevity, for the Monarch lives weeks 
or months to the average butterfly’s days.

The species is polygoneutic, or, in other words, produces a suc- 
cession of broods throughout the year. It is incapable of passing the 
winter in any of its phases, and the northern states must therefore 
be annually restocked by migration. Of the several species of but- 
terflies which move in occasional swarms, this is the only one in 
North America that can be designated a true migrator. It is an in- 
Sspiring sight to see one of these flights in the fall of the year, heading 
southward, composed of millions of individuals. The spring movement 
northward is of a totally different character. There is no swarming 


85 


instinet connected with it, and hence it is seldom noticed. The larval 
foodplant of the genus is milkweed.

occurs in a few isolated points in the southern part of the state. 
Imperial Valley is its favored location. Occasional captures have been 
reported as far north as Mono County. Records are available of its 
having been taken from April to November, with probably a succes- 
sion of broods to account for its long season.

Hurymus pelidne minisni form 9 isni nov. 
Yellow @ of minisni. The normal 9, and the form discussed by 
Bean in the original description of minisni is the white female. 
Type locality: Laggan, Alta. 
Number and sexes of types: Holotype 9, 16-23 Aug. 


91a add androcardia Hbn. 
1821, Huebner, Ind. exot. Lep., 1, Enodia. 


104 add a quebecensis B. & Benj. 


Coenonympha inornata race quebecensis nov. 

Upper side similar to inornata, the hind wing with a pale gray 
outer margin interrupted and partly bordered by a dark, discon- 
colorous, band. Underside similar to ampelos, paler and brighter 
than in typical inornata, ocellus of fore wing present or absent, 
when present reduced in size. 

Type locality: Chelsea, Ottawa Co., Que. 

Number and sexes of types: Holotype 9, 1-7 June; 8 ¢ Para- 
types 1-7 and 7-15 June. 


89 


106 add a subfusea B. & Ben), 
Coenonympha ochracea race subfusca nov. 

Much like ochracea on upper side. Underside of secondaries and 
apex of primaries heavily powdered with black, hind wing with 
ocelli as in ochracea, median band somewhat reduced, basal pale 
spots absent. 

Type locality: White Mts., Ariz. 

Number and sexes of types: Holotype ¢ , 1-7 July, Allotype 9, 
no date; 4 @ 1 9 Paratypes, 1-7 July and no date. 


106,1 add No. 106,1 furce B. & Benj. 


Coenonympha furce sp. nov. 

Seems to be a connecting link between california and ochracea, 
possibly a pale form of the latter. Sexes similar. The ground 
color is luteous, tinted with pale ochraceous, the marking of the 
underside showing thru; underside with the maculation variable, 
similar to ochracea; fore wing with ground color similar to upper side, 
with a tendency toward the development of auxilliary ocelli; hind 
wing with ground color luteous white heavily powdered with fus- 
cus, six ocelli, some obsolescent, present. The single male has 
the ocelli of the hind wing so reduced that they appear as pale 
blotches except for a few black scales in one blotch at tornus. 
The ocelli of the hind wing of the female range from two to six. 

Type locality: Grand Canyon, Ariz. 

Number and sexes of types: Holotype ¢, Allotype 9, 3 ? Para- 
types; no dates except on one female, 1-7 June. 


113,1 add No. 113,1 damei B. & Benj. 


Cercyonis damei sp. nov. 


Upper side much as in meadi but with the burnt orange color ob- 
solescent, restricted to rings around the ocelli, sometimes practical- 
ly obsolete; sexual scale patch of male longer and broader, ex- 
tending nearly to vein 4. Underside: the burnt orange color much 
reduced and largely replaced by brownish, the striations heavier 
and more conspicuous; hind wing as in meadi, as dark as the darkest 
of that species. 

Expanse: 43-49 mm. 

Type locality: Grand Canyon, Ariz. 

Number and sexes of types: Holotype ¢, 1-7 June; 4 g Para- 
types, one only dated, 8-15 June. 


129b remove b assimilis Butl. 


1306 eritiosa (Bdv.) 


1833, Boisduval, Icon. Hist. Lép. Europ., I, 197, also, Chionobas. 

1834-57, Boisduval & Leconte, Lép. Am. Sept. 222, also, Chionobas.

Oeneis. 

Boisduval, 1833, and Boisduval & Leconte, 1834-37, list Satyrus 
eritiosa Harris manuscript as a synonym of also. Harris, in a letter 
to Doubleday dated 1849 and published, 1869, in Scudder, Ent. Cor- 
resp. Harris, states that he sent to Leconte specimens of “Hipparachia 
semidea” and “Aegeria exitiosa”’, and that in consequence there has 
been a “blunder of the specific name” by Boisduval & Leconte. We 
find nothing in the International Zoological Code covering such cases 
and do not know if the name is available or not. 


90 


130c add c assimilis Butl., change c arctica Gibson to arctica Gib- 
son, this information furnished by Mr. H. T. G. Watkins 
who kindly compared Butler’s type with the figures of Gib- 
son, and informed us that both names represent the same 
form beyond any reasonable doubt. 


138 change a macinus Dbidy. & Hew., err. typ., to @ mancinus Dbldy. 
& Hew. 


p. 11 for Migonitis Hbn., type Papilio erato L., substitute the fol- 
lowing which has priority :— 

Sicyonia Hbn. Type Sicyonio apseudes Hbn. 

Before 1816, Huebner, Zutr. exot. Schmett., 1, 25, No. 71, ff. 
141-142, apseudes sole species and therefore type. 

1816, Huebner, Verz. bek. Schmett., p. 13, heading Sycionize 
(!); lists sara(clytia), thamar (rhea), apseudes, doris 
(quirina). 

1827, Huebner, Verz. bek. Schmett., Anzeiger, p. 7, Sycionia(!). 

1875, Scudder, Hist. Sk., p. 268, type designated ‘‘rhea(sara, 
thamar)”’. 

There is a reference in the Verzeichniss to the Zutrage figures 
of apseudes, indicative that these were published prior to the Ver- 
zeichniss. Sicyonia would therefore be a monotypical genus. Scud- 
der’s selection of type is based upon the Vereichniss. 


148a omit a insularis (Mayn.) 


According to Capt. N. D. Riley, 1926, the Entomol., LIX, 241, this 
race does not occur in Boreal America. 


148a@ change ab. comstocki Gunder to read a comstocki Gunder; add 
form norm. incarnata Riley. 

Gunder described comstocki as an ab. of vanille. If names de- 
scribed as “abs.” are available specifically and subspecifically, and 
in general they have been so held in the past, then the name comstocki 
applies to the subspecies from Boreal America with the name incarnata 
applicable to the normal form of the same subspecies. 


149 add mariamne Scud. 


1889, Scudder, Butt. E. U. S., i, 519, claudia, Euptoetia. 
An Abbot manuscript name listed in the synonymy by Scudder. 


157 add d byblis B. & Benj. 
Dryas aphrodite race byblis nov. 


6; size and somewhat the general appearance of atlantis nikias. 
Veins as in aphrodite. Base of wing as dark as in @ aphrodite. 
Nearest to cypris, differing therefrom by smaller size and brighter 
underside. 

9; similar but darker. 

Type locality: White Mts., Ariz. : 

Number and sexes of types: Holotype ¢, Allotype 9, 4 ¢ 19° 
Paratypes, no dates. 

Notes: the present form is of equal rank with many of the 
so-called species in the group, but we prefer to describe as a race 
of aphrodite. 


91 


160 add b beani B. & Benj. 
Dryas atlantis vace beani nov. 

Upper side and underside of fore wing similar to lais. Under- 
side of hind wing similar to atlantis but paler in color than the 
average of that species. Veins of the fore wing of ¢@ as in atlantis. 

Type locality: Banff, Alta. 

Number and sexes of types: Holotype 4 , 8-15 Aug., Allotype 
Q, 8-15 Aug., 3 @ 3 9 Paratypes, 8-15 Aug., 15-23 Aug., and no date. 


Notes: this may ultimately prove to be a distinct species. 


182 synonym egleis. Change authorship to (Behr). 
1860, Morris, Cat. Lep., p. 7, (nom. nud.), Argynnis. 
1862, Behr, Proc. Calif.. Acad. Sci., Il, 174, No. 4, (as egleis?), 
Argynnis. 
1864, Edwards, Proc. Ent, Soc. Phila., III, 435, astarte, Argynnis. 
All three references have priority over Boisduval’s original des- 
cription. Morris merely lists the nom. nud. 


ISS add d nicholle B. & Benj. 
3renthis aphirape race nicholle nov. 

Upper side similar to dark specimens of dawsoni. Underside 
similar to dawsoni but darker, especially on the hind wing. We sus- 
pect this is a high altitude form. 

Type locality:. Rocky Mts. 

Number and sexes of types: Holotype 4, Allotype 9, 2 @ 19 
Paratypes; Mrs. B. Nicholl, ex Coll. Oberthiir. 


192,1 add No. 192,1 reiffi (Reuss). 

1925, Reuss, Int. Ent. Zeit., XIX, 279-280, Boloria. 

The species is unknown to us. Described from a single 2 
from British Columbia. We rather suspect this will be close to No. 
192a. 
197d for alaskensis (Lehm.) substitute gibsoni B. & Benj.. with + 

alaskensis (Lehm.) (nec. Holl.) in synonymy. 


Brenthis frigga race gibsoni nov. 

We apply this name to the subspecies of frigga discussed and 
figured by Gibson; 1920. Rept. Can. Arc. Exped., III, (1) 24, pl. V, 
f, 1. We suspect that Dr. Gibson was correct in assigning these 
specimens to alaskensis Lehm. but regardless if the synonmy is 
correct or not, the name alaskensis Lehm. falls as a homonym of 
alaskensis Holl., under the International Zoological Code subspecific 
names being coordinate with specific names from the standpoint of 
nomenclature. 

We do not apply the name gibsoni as a nom. nov. for alaskensis 
Lehm., as we have no real knowledge of Lehmann’s type. The group 
is a difficult one so that we prefer to erect the name gibsoni as a 
new race of frigga, basing it on the specimens discussed by Gibson. 
We select as Holotype ¢ a specimen from Barter Island, North- 
ern Alaska, July 4, 1914, ex Coll. D. Jenness, and as Allotype @ the 
specimen figured by Gibson, the remainder of Gibson’s series are 
designated paratypes. 

This subspecies is very similar to saga, but with the medial 
band of the underside of the hind wing half again as broad. There 
is a tendency for the median black band of the fore wing to be 
more diffuse, and on the underside for the ground color to be some- 
what paler. The subspecies seems intermediate between the Huro- 
pean frigga and the Labrador saga. 


92 


Notes: Types and Paratypes in the Canadian National Collec- 
tion, Paratypes in Collection Barnes. 


203 omit phedon (H.-S.) which is presumably only an error for 
phaéton. The name is credited to Drury, and there is no indication 
that there has been any deliberate alteration or emendation of the 
original orthography. 


204 place ab. suprafusa Comst. as suprafusa Comst. in the synonymy 
of ab. lorquini (Oberth.) 


204a@ the name macglashani (Rivers) should be withdrawn from the 
synonymy and placed as a subspecies intermediate between 
dwinellei and olancha. It can take the number 284b while 
olancha can take the number 284c. 


219,1 add 219,1 alena B. & Benj. 
Euphydryas alena sp. nov. 


Similar to maria, somewhat larger and brighter. All markings 
very similar, but the usual blackish powderings and heavy black 
along the veins more restricted. Underside similar to maria, the 
red tints much brighter. 

Expanse: ¢@ 35-39 mm.; © 43-49 mm. 

We are describing this as a new species because of the status 
heretofore given to maria and magdalena. We would not, however, 
be surprised if subsequent investigations reveal that all of these 
names are geographical races of anicia. 

Type locality: So. Utah. 

Number and sexes of types: Holotype ¢@, Allotype 9 14, 12 9 
Paratypes, July, 1900, Wm. Barnes Collector. 


220,1 add 220,1 carmentis B. & Benj. 
Euphydryas carmentis sp. nov. 

Allied to the alena and to magdalena, intermediate in size, in 
this respect resembling maria. Upper side with the pattern and 
coloration nearly as in alena but tending to produce forms which 
are much paler. Underside similar to maria but considerably paler, 
the contrast between the ground color and the yellow transverse 
markings much more distinct; the general appearance being more 
like that of wheeleri, but a considerably smaller and much neater 
looking species. 

Expanse: ¢ 33-36 mm.; 9 40-43 mm. 

Remarks on the status of alena also apply to carmentis. 

Type locality: Pagosa Springs, Colo. 

Number and sexes of types: Holotype ¢, Allotype 9, 10 @ 
9 9 Paratypes, 24-30 June. 


251 add ?euclea (Bergstr.) 

1780, Bergstrasser, Nomencl. Ins. Hanau, IV, 23-24, pl. CCLXXXIV, 

ff. 9-10, Papilio. 

1889, Scudder, Butt, EH. U. S., I, 629, tharos, Phyciodes. 

Scudder is responsible for listing euclea in the synonymy of 
tharos. We have not seen Bergstrasser’s work. If the name actual- 
ly represents a form conspecific with tharos it may have priority 
over form vern. marcia Edw. 


282 add pocahontas (Scud.) 


1889, Scudder, Butt. E. U. S., I, 379, j-album, Eugonia. 
A Harris manuscript name listed in the synonymy by Scudder. 


93 


297 change tatila H.-S. to tatila ( H.-S.) 


p. 16 change Celtiphaga B. & L. to Asterocampa Rob. which has 
priority with same genotype. 


3338 add geda (Scud.) 


1876, Scudder, Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., Ill, 102, borealis, Cale- 
phelis. 
A Boisduval manuscript name published in the synonymy by 
Scudder. 


350 add erytalus (Butl.) 


1869, Butler, Cat. Diur. Lep. Descr. Fabr., p 189, columella, 
Thmolus. 
1876, Seudder, Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., Il], 107 columella, Calli- 
cista. 
3utler lists erytalus Bdy. in Doubleday’s List as a synonym 
of columella. We are unable to locate the Doubleday reference. 
Scudder lists “erytalus Boisd., M. S., see Butl. Cat. Fabr. Lep., 189.” 
The name may be a mere misspelling of eurytulus Hbn., but 
there is nothing to prove this. 


354,1 add 354,1 polingi B. & Benj. 
Strymon polingi sp. nov. 


Allied to alcestis and oslari by the reduced ¢ stigma. 

Upperside much as in alcestis but base of fore wings and hind 
wings with a faint blueish-green tinge. Tails much as in autolycus 
ilavia. Beneath, ground color and markings as in autolycus but 
the s. t. line on the fore wing obsolescent, sometimes practically ob- 
solete, and the red on the hind wing more restricted. 

The species looks like Edward’s figure of ontario, but the red 
on the upper side of the hind wing is usually obsolete. Also ontario 
has the normal large stigma in the ¢@. 

Expanse: ¢ 27-29 mm.; 9 29-31 mm. 

Type locality: Sunny Glen Ranch near Alpine, Brewster Co., 
Texas. 

Number and sexes of types: Holotype 9, Allotype 9, 52 @ 92 Para- 
types, 1-15 June 1926; 73 ¢ 92 Paratypes, 15-30 June 1926. 

Notes: named in honor of Mr. O. C. Poling, the collector. The 
types and part of the paratype series are in the Barnes Collection, 
the remainder of the paratypes were merely loaned by Mr. Poling 
and have been returned to him. 


363 add b watsoni B. & Benj. 


Strymon titus race watsoni nov. 

Similar to typical titus, larger, the underside much paler. 

Expanse: ¢ 31-34 mm.; 9 34-40 mm. 

Type localities and number and sexes of types: Holotype 4, 
Allotype 9, 1 ¢ 1 9 Paratypes, Kerrville, Texas, no dates; 1 ¢ Para- 
type, Shovel Mt., Texas, 8-15 May. 

Notes: presumably collected by Mr. Lacey and Dr. Barnes. 


368 change edwardsii (Saund.) to edwardsii (G. & R.). 
1867, Grote & Robinson, Trans. Am. Ent. Soc., I, 172, calanus, 
Thecia. 
Saunders manuscript name published as a synonym by Grote 


& Robinson. Saunders appears not to have published the name un- 
til 1869. 


94 


369 add calanus (Hbn.) which has priority, change wittfeldii (Hdw.) 
to read wittfeldii (Edw.) 


370 remove calanus (Hbn.) which is valid over wittfeldii (Edw.), 
change falacer (Godt.) to falacer (Godt.) 

Hubner’s figures of calanus clearly show the long-tailed species 
strongly marked with red to which Edwards gave the name witt- 
feldii. S. falacer appears to be the next available name for calanus 
Auct. nec Hbn. Its type, if in existence, should be examined to be 
certain that it is not the species subsequently described as edwardsii. 


372 add = liparops (Fletch.) (nec Bdv. & Lec.) 

1904, Fletcher, Trans. Roy. Soc. Can., (1903), pl., strigosa var., 

Thecia. 

1904, Fletcher, Can Ent., XXXVI, 124, pl., strigosa var., Thecla. 

Fletcher attempted to ‘‘save” the Boisduval & Leconte name, 
and thus made a homonym. We know of no species exactly like the 
Boisduval & Leconte plate. The plate may be poor, or the form 
of strigosa most common in Manitoba may occur in Georgia as an 
occasional mutation. We rather suspect the latter explanation as 
a specimen ex Collections Boisduval and Oberthur was received by 
the Barnes Collection; its label reading, “Liparops Boisd. @ hyperici 
Abb. Am. bor.”’, and presumably labeled by Boisduval. This speci- 
men is normal eastern strigosa. We suspect that some manuscript 
plate of Abbot’s will show the fulvous patches present in liparops 
but absent in strigosa. The Barnes Collection did not obtain a type 
of liparops, or any specimen ex Collection Boisduval showing ful- 
vous patches, from the Oberthur Collection. 


372a add ab. pruina (Scuwd.) 
1889, Scudder, Butt. E. U. S., II, 879, liparops ab., Thecla. 


413 add anthelle (Scud.) 


1847, Doubleday, List Lep. B. M., II, 55, Polyommatus. 

1876, Scudder, Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., III, 128, dorcas, Epidema. 

Boisduval manuscript name first listed by Doubleday who mere- 
ly gives, “Polyommatus anthelle Boisd. MSS. a-d. Martin’s Falls, 
Albany River, Hudson’s Bay. Presented by G. Barneston, Esq.’’. 

The first indication we find rendering the name available is 
that of Scudder, 1876. 

The Barnes Collection contains the Boisduval manuscript type. 


414 add hypoxanthe (Kirby). 


1847, Doubleday, List Lep. B. M., II, 54, Polyommatus. 

1862, Kirby, Man, Europ. Butt., p. 91, f. 11, Chrysophanus. 

1871, Kirby, Syn. Cat. Diur. Lep., p. 343. Lycaena. 

1889, Kirby, Europ. Butt. & Moths, p. 54,? dorilis, Lycaena. 

The Barnes Collection received three specimens as types of the 
Boisduval manuscript name hypoxanthe from the Oberthur Collec- 
tion, and a fourth specimen, without label, not listed as a type. Dr. 
Hofer’s letter reads, ‘“‘Chrysoph, hypoxanthe Bdv. (epixanthe) Types.”, 
but the only specimen bearing the Boisduval handwritten detremin- 
ation label has this label reading, “Hypoxanthe Boisd. Canada.”’. 
Hofer is correct in that these specimens are epixanthe Bdv. & Lec., 
but this latter name was applied to specimens from ‘New Harmony, 
Ind.”. The two Boisduval Collection specimens not bearing hand- 
written labels may be the types of epixanthe, or the manuscript name 
hypoxanthe may have been change to epixanthe and the Canadian 
“type” not mentioned. 


95 


The Boisduval manuscript name appears to have been first 
mentioned by Doubleday who merely gives, “Polyommatus hypoxan- 
the, Boisd. MSS. a. b. Polish Ukraine. Presented by Dr. Dowler.” 
Kirby, 1871, questions the locality. In 1889 he states under dorilis, 
“L. hypoxanthe is probably not distinct from this.” 


tida add amicetus (Scud.) which has priority, change pheedrus (Hall) 
to read phadrus (Hall). 


1847, Doubleday, List Lep. B. M., II, 55, Polyonmmatus. 
1876, Scudder, Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., III, 128, epixanthe, 
Epidemia. 

A Boisduval manuscript name listed by Doubleday who merely 
gives, “Polyommatus amicetus, Boisd. MSS. a-c Newfoundland. Pre- 
sented by W. St. John, Esq.” The first indication we find which 
renders the name available is that published by Scudder, 1876. The 
Boisduval manuscript type appears to have been lost, so that all 
we can do is to accept the comparison with it made by Doubleday, 
and give the name of the minor Newfoundland race of epixanthe, 
with priority over phzedrus (Hall). 


415 add bacchus (Scud.) 


1889, Scudder, Butt. E. U. S., Il, 998, hypophlzeas, Heodes. 
A Harris manuscript name listed by Scudder as a synonym of 
hypophleeas. 


p. 19 change Plebeius L. to Plebejus L. to conform with original 
orthography. This has been called to our attention by Mr. 
E. H. Blackmore. 


oy 


33 add (partim. ¢ nec 9) after argyrotorus (Behr). 


33 atter philemon (Bdv.) add ab. argyrotoxus (Behr) (partim. 9 
nec ¢@). 


456e add ab. sinepunctata Comst. 


458 no change. A note may be of some value. 


The Barnes Collection received 2 ¢ 19 as types of Lycaenopsis 
pseudargiolus (Bdv. & lLec.). The males do not agree with the 
original description and figures as well as the female. The males 
are neglecta Edw. and may be spurious types. The female is tlhe 
form commonly going as pseudargiolus in collections, agrees well 
with the original description and figures, and presumably should be 
considered the existing true type. 


458 gen. wst. neglecta (Hdw.) add deutargiolus (Scud.) 

1869, Doubleday, in Scudder, Ent. Corresp. Harris, p. 164, (nom. 

nud.). 

1869, Haris, in Scudder, Ent. Corresp. Harris, p. 165, (nom. nud.). 

1869, Scudder, in Scudder, Ent. Corresp. Harris, (footnote) 

neglecta, L. 

The description by Harris consists of, “The name Polyommatus 
pseudargiolus must be applied exclusively to the Southern species, if 
the Northern blue species is distinct from it. Deutargiolus would be a 
good name for the Northern species. Your specimens will enable 
you to point out the distinctive characters, which I shall be glad 
to see from your own observations, as well as those by which you 
separate Argynnis Aphrodite from Cybele.” 


96 


Scudder has added a footnote to the same page, “(It has since 
been named L. neglecta by Mr. W. H. Edwards).” 

It is rather questionable if the single descriptive adjective used 
by Harris can be construed as an indication of what the name 
deutargiolus represents, so we credit authorship to Scudder because 
of his indication on the same page. 


479 add hedysarum Scud. 


1889, Scudder, Butt. EH. U. S., Il, 1418, lycidas, Achalarus. 
An Abbot manuscript name listed in the synonymy by Scudder. 


480 add casica (H.-S.) which has priority; place epigena (Buwtl.) in 
the synonymy as epigena (Butl.) 


Prof. M. Draudt has kindly informed us that he possesses a draw- 
ing of the type of casica made by the late Dr. Carl Ploetz and that 
the name is unquestionably applicable to the same form as epigena 
Butl. with priority. 


497 add a freija (Warr.) 

1924, Warren, Trans. Ent. Soc. Lond., (1-2), pp. lvi.-lvii, Hesperia. 

1926, Bell, Ent. News, XXXVII, 109, Hesperia. 

We would call attention to the fact that while centaurez was 
described by Rambur, 1839, Faun. Ent. And., II, 315, pl. VIII, f. 10, 
that according to Boisduval, 1840, Gen. et Ind. Method., p. 36, this 
name is a Boisduval manuscript hame based mainly upon specimens 
from Scandanavia and Lapland, so that if two species are present 
in the Huropean collections as centaurez, Warren may well have 
redescribed the true centaurez as freija. If the European and 
Labrador types of freija are conspecific, and if the true centaurez 
does not occur in North America, then the name wyandot (Hdw.) 
would appear available for the North American species. 

Labrador material seems intermediate between Colorado and 
eastern United States specimens. 

Warren’s superficial characters appear to be useless so far as 
Labrador material is concerned. 

It appears to us that there is a little mix-up here which can 
only be satisfactorily settled by the critical examination of all types 
concerned. Therefore we tentatively retain the Warren name as a 
subspecies of centaurezee Auct., ?Ramb.—=wyandot (Hdw.?). 

We wrote to Professor M. Draudt to see if he could throw any 
further light upon this matter, but he replied that the case was a 
very difficult one and equally a puzzle to him. 


503 add albovittata (Grt.) 
1873, Grote, Bull. Buff. Soc. Nat. Sci., I, 168, communis, Hesperia. 
Presumably a manuscript name, quoted as a part of a letter 
from Zeller, but Grote gives the indication which renders the name 
available. 


523 add hamamelidis (Scud.) 


1889, Scudder, Butt. E. U. S., Il, 1507, icelus, Thanaos. 
A Fitch manuscript name listed in the synonymy by Scudder. 


595 add enys Scud. 
1870, Butler, Ent. Mo. Mag., VII, 93, Pamphila. 
1889, Scudder, Butt. E. U. S., Il, 1683, peckius, Polites. 
Presumably a Boisduval manuscript name merely mentioned by 
Butler, but placed in the synonymy of peckius by Scudder. 


oii 


598 add ?tosyka (Edw.) (partim. 9 nec 24) 
See notes under bais (Seud.) 


605 add ? bais (Seud.) 


1889, Seudder, Butt. I. U. S., III, 1865, osyka, Euphyes. 

A Boisduval manuscript name published as a synonym of osyka 
(Edw.) 

According to Barnes & McDunnough, 1916, Contrib., III, (2), 
135-136, the three types of osyka represent three different species, 
the ¢ type being a specimen of vestris (Bdv.), one 9 type being eufala 
(Edw.) and the other 9 type possibly being a worn brettus. 


It, therefore, becomes questionable just what species Scudder 
had in mind as osyka, but the chances are strongly against vestris 
which was well known to him under the name metacomet. We mere- 
ly tentatively place bzis under vestris following Barnes & Mce- 
Dunnough’s restriction of the name osyka. 


639 change samoset (Scud.) to samoset (Scud.) and hegon (Scud.) 
to hegon (Scud.) 


Scudder, 1868, Proc. Bost. Soc. Nat. Hist., XI, 382, appears to 
be the first worker to recognize the synonymy, and took advantage 
of the rights of the first revisional author to select the name samo- 
set, rather than hegon, to stand, both names having been published 
on the same page in the same work, 1862, Proc. Essox Inst. III, 176.

THE HUBNER TENT AMEN’ 


By Wm. Barnes and F. H. Benjamin, Decatur, Illinois. 


The publication of our recent Check List of the Diurnal Lepidop- 
tera of Boreal America in the Bulletin of the Southern California 
Academy of Sciences has brought letters asking what part of the 
nomenclature therein employed deals with the Tentamen. As it 
would appear that Scudder’s fac-simile copies are now unavailable to 
many workers, we are re-publishing the Tentamen so that its names 
will be generally available for future discussions. 


Tentamen determinationis digestionis atque denom- 
inationis singularum stirpium Lepidopterorum,

only two pages. Page 1 column 1 ends with Andria Vinula; page 1 column

CHANGES DUE TO THE TENTAMEN 


There has been some discussion of our “List” due to the “many 
changes” in Diurnal genera caused by our adoption of the Tentamen. 

In actuality we have used only four Tentamen genera in our list; 
i.e., Dryas, Lemonias, Hamadryas, and Urbanus. Two of these, in 
the plural, Dryades and Hamadryades are in reality subdivisions of the 
old genus Papilio L. by Borkhausen, 1788. Their status in 1788 will 
presumably depend upon the outcome of a discussion involving “‘Troes” 
etc., of Linnaeus. Like all early authors, Borkhausen used the plural 
where he intended more than a Single specific organism under con- 
sideration. There appears to have been no index to the work, so we 
cannot say if he intended a singular usage when combined with but 
a single species or not. Unfortunately his plates have these “names” 
abbreviated. It is, however, decidedly possible that we may have to 
use quite a few of the Tentamen names from earlier authors. 

Of the four Tentamen names used on our list, all four are to be 
found in the Sammlung exotischer Schmetterlinge, at early dates. 
If we were to discard the Tentamen we might be forced to use Dryas 
for Phyciodes, instead of for Argynnis, a change not heretofore in 
the literature, and therefore to our minds much worse. Limnas, which 
by the Tentamen we can sink as a synonym of Danaus, would appear 
to be a valid genus, available for certain Neotropical species, giving 
one more of the Tentamen names to be used in the Diurnals by the 
rejection of the Tentamen, than if we accept the work. 

The change of the subfamily name Hesperiinae to take the place 
of Pamphilinae has nothing to do with the Tentamen, Pamphila being 
a straight synonym of Hesperia with the same type and so used by 
most authors until 1870. 


102 


The use of the term Urbaninae for the term Hesperiinae, as used 
by authors of the last generation, seems regretable, but the Sammlung 
uses the name Urbanus for a number of species, a large proportion 
ot which fall into the Urbaninae. To discard the Tentamen would 
be simply to use the name Urbanus in a little different sense but very 
probably in the same subfamily. When one considers that we do not 
know the exact date of any of the Sammlung plates of Urbanuws species, 
that these plates were presumably not issued consecutively, the dis- 
carding of the Tentamen Urbanus would render the fixation of a type 
tor Urbanus a matter of pure guesswork subject to change at the 
hands of every author. We fail to see how such a condition would 
improve our nomenclature. And even if the Sammlung Urbanus could 
be restricted to some one plate, the transfer of the name, with priority, 
to some other genus, probably in the same subfamily, would scarcely 
be an improvement. 


We are inclined to think, that from the practical standpoint, re- 
jection of the Tentamen would involve far worse changes than its 
adoption, for while we might discard the work we cannot erase its 
names which would become available from subsequent works with 
entirely different genotypes, with very questionable dates, thus tearing 
down our whole fabric of nomenclature in Lepidoptera for a gossamer 
of possibilities. 


Another point we might mention to show the possibilities of 
change by the rejection of the Tentamen is that Latreille, 1810, men- 
tions a Lemonias Illiger and “other” recently erected Illiger genera. 
Neither we, nor any authority whom we have consulted, know of any 
publication of Lemonias by Illiger prior to 1818. But we cannot logi- 
cally say that no such paper exists. Papers can disappear which have 
presumably once been available. As an example we have in mind the 
“Hrlangen List” of the Hymenopterists. When Dr. Sherborn wrote his 
Index Animalium he mentioned nineteen such works, and a total of 
thirty-one volumes. A thorough search may yet reveal an Illiger 
paper, which if the Tentamen were rejected, may publish a number of 
Tentamen names, rendering them available at a very early date. 
Early authors may have paid little attention to such a paper because 
of the Tentamen, which appears to have been quite generally avail- 
able. We have considerable evidence that the Tentamen was avail- 
able to most of the authors of Hubner’s period, including Fabricius, 
Illiger, Haworth, Ochsenheimer, Treitschke, Geyer, Curtis, Kirby and 
Spence. 


Before we leave the Tentamen, a word regarding its construction 
might not be amiss. It is to be noted that Hubner uses the term Lepi- 
doptera divided into nine Phalanges which are the old and well known 
genera and subgenera of Linnaeus, used in the plural, a usage sanc- 
tioned by Linnaeus, 1758, et seq. Each Phalanx is divided into Tribus 
I, etc. It is to be noted that these tribes are not in reality named, 
but that the so-called names applied to them are in the nature of 
description, so that the whole fabric of the Tentamen is in the nature 
ot a taxonomic key. Thus the butterflies are divided into the nymph-like 
ones and the ones belonging to another clan or nation, heathens or 
gentiles. While this means little to present taxonomist, Hubner’s di- 
visions in the remainder of Tentamen mean a great deal. We have 
the old Sphinx broken up into three tribes; the papilionoides or butter- 
fly-like, the hymenopteroides or wasp-like, and the legitime or le- 
gitimate ones. Here it is interesting to note that Hubner was the 
first taxonomist to differentiate between the real Sphingids and the 
Aegeriids. The old genus (or subgenus) Bombyx is broken up into 
three tribes; sphingoides, verw, and fodicantes; or Sphinx-like, true, 
and borers; the latter based on the early stages, a recognition that 
our Cossids and Hepialids did not belong with the real Bombycids. 
The old Noctua is broken up into three tribes; bombycoides, genuine, 


103 


and semigeometra; or Bombycid-like (to include those with Bombycid- 
like larvae), genuine (the cut-worm type), and the semi-loopers (a 
term even used at the present time for the larvae of most of the 
forms placed there by Hubner). And so we might go thru the work, 
whose divisions are truly in the nature of a taxonomic key. The 
stirpes themselves are differentiated by the inauguration of a system 
of metonomy, as stated in the heading of the Tentamen. In other 
words, Hubner actually states by his method of tabulation a system 
of taxonomy best known by an example:—as, that cossus is sole 
species and therefore type of Teredo to differentiate Veredo from 
Hepiolus of which he selects the type huwmuli, and that both genera 
are borers belonging to the old genus (or subgenus) Bombyx of the 
Lepidoptera. Hubner did not have the word type or genotype avail- 
able for his use in 1806, but he managed to invent metonomy. An- 
other good example is his genus Sphecomorpha. He has practically 
stated, turning to modern phraseology:—my genus Sphecomorpha has 
as its type incendiaria and thus differs from the known genera Sesia 
and Thyris, the type of the former culiciformis restricted by metonomy, 
and the type of the latter pyralidiformis also restricted by metonomy. 
These three genera belong in the old genus Sphinx but are not real 
Sphingids, being wasp-like in superficial appearance and habits. 


The idea that authors of Hubner’s day were opposed to the Tenta- 
men, or its names, is a decided error; at the most based uvon Latreille. 
The German workers headed by Hubner and Ochsenheimer adopted it 
for their subsequent works. The English, headed by Kirby (the author 
of the first well Known set of Entomological text-books) and Curtis 
(the first English worker to designate genotypes) adopted it. Even 
Fabricius, in his last and presumably unpublished work, Systema 
Glossatorum, seems to have adopted the Tentamen Plusia. 


Besides the use of the Tentamen names in the nominative singu- 
lar in the Sammlung exotischer Schmetterlinge, the text of the Zut- 
rage zur Sammlung exotischer Schmetterlinge, and the Anzeiger of 
the Verzeichniss bekannter Schmetterlinge, we call attention to two 
other little Known papers. One is, “Catalague des Lepidopteres de 
la collection de M. Frank,” 8vo., pp. 102. Inquiry at the British Mu- 
seum reveals the fact that in this work some of the Tentamen 
generic names are used as genera by Hubner just before his death. 
We are, however, informed that the work is mainly of the nature 
of a dealers catalogue. We have not seen a copy. Scudder con- 
sidered it an available publication. Perhaps it is both. The second 
rare work is the “Systematisch alphabetisches Verzeichniss aller 
bisher bei den Furbildungen zur Sammlung Europaischer Schmetter- 
linge, ausgegebenen Benennungen mit Vormerkung auch Augsburgs- 
cher Gattungen.’ Certainly in the work, which its own author states 
modernizes the nomenclature of his Samml. Europ. Schmett., the Tenta- 
men genera are used. The generic and specific names are written with 
capital letters, and between them is intercalated a word, in the main 
descriptive. While such a procedure may shock some of our modern 
authors, the work is as truly binomial as the Linnaeus “Systema 
Naturae.”

SECRETARY ’S REPORT 
1926 


The Academy closes its fiscal year with a total of 277 members in 
good standing. This represents an increase of 53 over the figure of 
two years ago, notwithstanding the fact that 101 members dropped 
out from one cause or another. 


Most of the deflections from our ranks have been in the class of 
resident members. 


“This loss of local memberships is chargeable in part to the fact 
that it has been impossible to find a suitable hall for lecture purposes, 
and our activities in this direction were therefore curtailed. In larger 
degree however, it resulted from the policy of securing memberships 
on the basis of personal friendship, rather than of vital interest in 
science and the work of the Academy. Such members remained with 
the Academy only for the period of a year, and thereafter resigned, 
or ignored notices of delinquency. 


The coming year promises renewed activity in the line of lectures, 
through the pledge by the Library authorities of a lecture hall suited 
to our needs. This will furnish a means of interesting new people in 
the work of the Academy, and hence of building up the membership. 


Three Bulletins were issued during 1925, and two issues have been 
published to date for 1926. 


As a result of an intensive mail campaign the subscription mem- 
berships were increased from 47 to 136 in the two year period just 
passed. The influence of the Bulletin as a scientific record has there- 
fore been markedly increased.

PROTECTIVE COLORATION AND MIMICRY 
By DR. JOHN A. COMSTOCK 


All of the animal forms existing on the earth today have, in the 
past, undergone a series of gradual changes, in response to their 
surroundings, which have enabled them to survive in the face of 
innumerable forces tending toward their destruction. 


These changes are in the nature of adaptations, by means of which, 
through constant improvements, they have adjusted themselves to 
their special environments. 


In the higher vertebrates, these changes have brought about re- 
markable modifications of the nervous system, more particularly in 
the brain. 


With lower forms of life, adaptive modifications are preponderantly 
in the nature of color changes, by means of which the animal simulates 
its environment .and is thus enabled to escape observation. 


Most naturalists have noted the close similarity of the color and 
markings of certain tree toads and lizards, to the environment in 
which they are found. (See Plate 1). 


Many sea-horses are colored like the seaweeds among which they 
live. The Zostera, of the Florida Coast, for example, has a colora- 
tion like that of sea grass. 


The young of the British Shore-crab (Carcinas maenas) invariably 
harmonizes with the color scheme of the pool which it inhabits. The 
Turbit, (Psetta maxima) rests flat upon the sea floor, and its upper 
surface shows the mottled pattern of its sandy cradle. 


Thousands of examples of protective resemblance have been noted 
in the Arthropods. A certain spider, found in California, closely re- 
sembles a bird-dropping. The simulation is further heightened by its 
habit of resting quietly on the upper surface of a leaf, with its legs 
held close to the body. 


Many of the Mantids and Walking-stick insects are modified to 
resemble sticks, leaves and bark. (See Plate 2, fig. 3). 


A Hemipterous insect occurs in San Diego County, which rests 
in the blossom of the wild buckwheat. Its form and color so per- 
fectly imitate a portion of the bloom that butterflies frequently alight 
upon it, and are thus captured. 


In the Lepidoptera, protective resemblance may be manifested 
in one or more of the changes through which the insect passes, in 
the course of its metamorphosis. A large number of the eggs of butter- 
flies are colored after the manner of the plants on which they are 
deposited. 


Innumerable caterpillars possess the form and coloration of their 
environment. Those which feed on grasses are almost invariably long, 
cylindrical and green. The larva of the California Sister, (Heterochroa 
californica), is a perfect match for the oak leaf. Most of the Lycaenid 
caterpillars are practically invisible in their natural surroundings, 
as witness the larva of the Juniper Hair-streak, (Mitoura siva juni- 
peraria). 


Many Geometrid caterpillars, of the measuring-worm type, are 
shaped and colored in the semblance of twigs, and the camouflage 
is further strengthened by the attitude they assume. Phasiana curvata 
admirably illustrates this. 


Butterfly chrysalids commonly resemble leaves, twigs, bark or 
stone. 


Some animals and insects have the power of modifying their 
color in response to a change of environment. A familiar example 
of this type is the chameleon. 

It has been frequently observed that the caterpillar of the Cloud- 
less Sulphur, (Catopsilia eubule), assumes a yellow tint when feed- 
ing on the blossoms of Cassia, whereas it is green when found on the 
leaves. 

A large number of butterflies resemble leaves, the most familiar 
example being the Leaf Butterfly of India, (Kallima inachis). (See 
Pave eZ elle) 

The Angle-wings, (Polygonia) are exactly the color of bark on 
the under surfaces of their wings. It is a common habit for them 
to rest on the trunk of a tree, with their wings closed. 

Another type of protective adaptation consists in certain unpleas- 
ant or noxious qualities, such as that possessed by the familiar skunk. 

A few caterpillars, notably the Papilios, have protrusive organs 
which emit an offensive substance. 


All of the Danaid butterflies are believed to be obnoxious to in- 
sectivores. Moths of the genus Zygaena possess acrid or offensive 
qualities, and the same holds true for many other groups. 


Frequently, when characters of a poisonous or repellant nature 
are developed, there is also the assumption of a conspicuous pat- 
tern or color. This phenomenon is termed ‘‘warning coloration.” 


Many reptiles and batrachians are known, which possess this 
combination of qualities. 


The Spotted Salamander (Salamandra maculosa) exemplifies this 
principle. Some of the showy beetles are protected in like manner, 
as are also many tropical butterflies and moths. 


Another interesting mechanism of survival, consists in the acqui- 
sition by non-protected species of the colors and patterns of obnoxious 
forms.

rock so perfectly as to be almost indistinguishable.

A good example of this is the case of Basilarchia obsoleta, which 
imitates Danaus berenice. The Basilarchias do not possess repellant 
qualities, and they would therefore admirably serve the palate of 
insectivorous birds and mammals. With the close resemblance of the 
two species, it is readily seen that confusion would arise, in conse- 
quence of which both would be shunned. 


This imitative principle is widespread among the butterflies, and 
is termed “protective mimicry.” 


Dr. A. Seitz, in writing of the phenomena states that “there are 
many localities in South America, often quite circumscribed in extent, 
in which almost all the lepidopterous species that occur in any num- 
bers have one and the same wing-pattern indifferently, whether they 
be butterflies or moths, whether stoutly-built Swallowtails or weak 
Pierids or shy Nymphalids. 


In Columbia one may see flying about a single flowering shrub a 
number of butterflies, all colored and marked alike, but belonging to 
four entirely different groups. They are all black, with an oblique 
scarlet band on the forewings. The first is a Pierid (Pereute lewco- 
drosyne), the second a Heliconid (Heliconius melpomene), the third 
a Swallowtail (Papilio euterpinus), and the fourth (Adelpha isis) 
a species of Nymphalid allied to Limenitis. In certain districts of 
Southern Brazil a yellow band on the forewing and dentated longi- 
tudinal stripes on a brownish yellow ground provide the general 
scheme, which is followed by Pierids (Perhybris, Dismorphia), Danaids 
(Lycorea), Heliconius (Heliconius narcaea) and even some moths 
(Chetone).” 


Still another type of mimicry exists, in which an insect assumes 
the form of some totally unrelated species or form. Many Syrphid 
flies resemble bees, although they are without stings. A number of 
Sesiid moths simulate wasps. 


The giant Brassolids of South America, known as Owl Butter- 
flies, bear a remarkable resemblance to the heads of owls. (See Plate 
2, fig. 1). They fly in the evening, and the great eye-like spots may 
have a protective significance. 


It must not be assumed that the many striking protective patterns 
of butterflies have been acquired as a matter of conscious choice on the 
part of these insects. They represent the end product of a long series 
of gradual changes, operating in accordance with the great laws of 
Adaptation, and along lines of continual betterment. 


A NEW RACE OF ARCTIA CAJA L. 
(Lepid., Arctiidae) 


By WM. BARNES and F. H. BENJAMIN, 
Decatur, Illinois 


Arctia caja waroi race nov. 


This is the race of caja commonly going in American collections 
as phaeosoma Butl. 


The British Columbia form has fore wings with the ground color 
like race americana, but with the white markings somewhat increased, 
the hind wing more tinged with crimson, and more heavily black marked 
in discal and cell regions. 


True phaeosoma has the ground color of the fore wing dark, like 
Labrador parva, the hind wing brighter crimson and appearing to lack 
the spot on the discocellular vein usually found in waroi. 


We suspect both virginivir and opulenta to represent races of caja 
more closely allied to one another than to waroi. 


Type localities and number and sexes of types: Holotype, 4, Van- 
couver Island; Allotype, 9, New Westminster, B. C.; 2 @ Paratypes, 
Victoria, Vanc.; 1 9 Paratype, New Westminster, B. C. 


Notes: We are indebted to Dr. Waro Nakahara for his kindness 
in supplying specimens of the Japanese phaeosoma, as well as for many 
other courtesies in the past, and take pleasure in naming the race 
in his honor. 


A NEW ABERRATION OF BASILARCHIA WEIDE- 
MEYRII Edwards. (Lepid.) 


In the summer of 1925, Mr. Elven C. Nelson found at Boulder, 
Colorado, a remarkable aberration of Basilarchia weidemeyrii, which 
may be described thus: ab. nigerrima, nov. Wings above entirely 
black except for the presence of the first two subapical spots, the 
second reduced to about half normal size, the first six (only the first 
three or four clear) submarginal dots on anterior wing, and the nor- 
mal broken marginal lines on both wings. Beneath the markings 
are reduced in size, and the broad white bands are replaced by black 
except for a series of spots along the outer margin. 


This can not be referred to ab. sinefascia Edwards, which is an 
analogous variation of the Arizona subspecies, possessing all the sub- 
marginal dots. The specimen will be placed in the U. S. National 
Museum.

THREE NEW MOTHS FROM THE SOUTHWEST 
BY CHAS. A. HILL, Glendale, Calif. 


I. Family Notodontidze Bombycia verdugoensis sp. nov. 


Collar tinged with rufous basally; with black interline, sometimes 
obsolescent, sometimes doubled. Thorax and primaries ‘blackish 
gray, tinged with rufous, and irrorated with black. Basal line ob- 
solescent. T. A. line black, double, with mesad part obsolescent, 
distally jet black, waved; included space tinged with some rufous; 
median line blackish; obsolescent, nearly parallel to T. P. line; 
ordinary spots obsolescent; T. P. line doubled, its mesad part jet 
black, nearly erect from costa to vein 3, thence bent inward as a 
“V" again inwardly oblique below vein 1; distal part of T. P. line 
blackish, more or less obsolescent, widely separated from mesad 
part, nearly erect from costa to inner margin, included space tinged 
with some rufous; an oblique black apical dash connected to a pale 
waved S. P. line; a thin black terminal line; fringe fuscous gray 
interlined darker." Hind wing fuscous. Beneath dull fuscous with 
all maculation obsolescent or obsolete. 


Expanse 32-34 mm. 
Described from 6 ¢@ ¢4. 


Taken in Verdugo Woodlands, Glendale, California, March 9 to 
15, 1925, at light by the author. Holotype ¢ in coll. Wm. Barnes 
2 ¢@ paratypes in coll. Barnes 3 @ paratypes in coll. Chas. A. Hill. 


An interesting species with no closely related organism de- 
scribed from Boreal America. The Tentamen generic name Bombycia 
is used here for Cymatophora of Lists. This species may require 
a separate genius. Superficially the resemblance is close to some 
of the European species. 


Mr. Dunkenfield-Jones, of Glendale, captured five specimens of 
this species in March, 1926. 


Il. Family Noctnidze Lascionycta benjamini sp. nov. 


6 antennae heavily serrated, practically pectinate, frons bulg- 
ing but not roughened, eyes small but round, strongly lashed as well 
as hairy. Head and thorax gray, mottled with white and black. 
Fore wing dull gray, powdered with violaceous white and black, 
and tinged with ferruginous. Basal line obsolete, T. A. line obsolete; 
clariform defined by black; orbicular and reniform rather poorly 
defined, with fuscous centers, pale ringed, and blackish surrounding 
scales, the former irregular and oblique, the latter more or less 
crescent shaped; T. P. line obsolescent, produced to points on the 
veins; S. T. line obsolescent, inwardly defined by a band of black 
dashes; a thin black terminal line; fringe checkered and also inter- 
lined. Hind wings dull whitish luteous, obscured by fuscous which 
is darkest on veins as a discal spot and a median line, and as a 
broad out band. Fringe luteous basally, with fuscous interline dis- 
tally white. Beneath white tinged with luteous and powdered with 
black and gray, the veins tending to’ be darkened, both wings crossed 
by a common line with discal spots and with broad dark outer band- 
ing. A strong black bar, tends to connect the discal spot of the hind 
wing with the base. 


Expanse 31-32 mm. 


Described from 7 ¢ 6 taken in Inyo Co., California, at light 
18-20th July, 1922, by the author on aj trip with Mr. A. ©. Poling. The 
holotype taken at Mammoth, Inyo Co., California, 8,500 feet elevation, 
is deposited in coll. Wm. Barnes, paratypes in; coll. Chas. A. Hill and 
Wm. Barnes. 


This’ is also an interesting species in that it differs considerably 
from any other which has been described. 


It is tentatively placed in Lasionycta because of its strongly 
lashed eyes. It seems to be a connecting link between that genus 
and “Polia’ of Hampson. The small eyes are not unlike those of 
some ‘“Auarta.’’ Hampson’s figure of “Auarta” or Scotogramma dis- 
color shows either the same or a very similar species. It was not 
made from the type of discolor which has heretofore been known only 
by the unique type in the U. S. National Museum. A copy of a photo- 
graph of this is before me. Hampson’s determination seems quite 
incorrect. I have recently found several more specimens of this 
new species taken with these at the same time and locality. 


Named in appreciation for the courtesies shown me on many oc- 
casions by Mr. Foster H. Benjamin who kindly determined the three 
moths described in this paper as being new to science and the 
privilege of naming these species due to the generosity of Dr. Wm. 
Barnes, of Decatur, Illinois, who spent four days with me last March 
and took back home with him these new species with many others 
for his collection and for determinations, later returned to me. 


Ill. Family Noctnidz Paphia piazzi sp. nov. 


Collar dark. disconcolorous with thorax which is dull gray and 
concolorous with the primaries. These are scarcely marked save 
for black t. a. and t. p. lines, the former, rather evenly rounded from 
costa to vein 1, thence tending to be produced along vein 1, for a short 
distance and to be connected to inner margin, this latter character 
being rather prominent in the holotype but rather obsolescent in 
a paratype; the t. p. line is excurved around cell, incurved from 
vein and the ordinary spots are obsolescent. Fringe tending to be 
slightly checkered. Hind wing white suffused with fuscous and 
crossed by a median line. Beneath: white with some fuscous suf- 
fusion, especially on primaries; both wings crossed by a common 
line; discal dots present but faint. 


Expanse 29-31 mm. 


Described from 2 ¢ from Brownsville, Texas, taken at light by 
E. Piazza, the holotype being labeled 4-11-25 and deposited in coll. 
Barnes; the paratype 2-11-25 in coll. Chas. A. Hill. 


This is new to the U. S. and north but ‘Brownsville’ localities 


are always “suspicious” so that it may have been described from 
Mexico S. Am. fauna. 


Named in honor of our lamented friend whose untimely end 
robbed us of one of the most indefatigable collectors I have ever 
known. Mr. Piazzi had several more of this, but I have been unable 
to trace his material since his death, March, 1926, in New York. 


THE GENUS CORETHROGYNE IN SOUTHERN 
CALIFORNIA 
By MARGARET L. CANBY 


This paper, presenting a revised classification of the genus Core- 
throgyne in Southern California, was worked out under the direction 
of Dr. Philip A. Munz of Pomona College. Many of the suggestions 
incorporated are his and to him are due thanks for obtaining reference 
material. 


I wish to express appreciation also to those who loaned or looked 
up herbarium material: Miss Alice Eastwood of the California Acad- 
emy of Sciences, Mr. F. W. Peirson of Pasadena, Mr. M. F. Gilman 
of Banning, Dr. A. Davidson of Los Angeles, Dr. B. L. Robinson of 
the Gray Herbarium, Dr. N. L. Gardner of the University of Cali- 
fornia Herbarium, Dr. W. A. Maxon of the National Herbariuzs, and 
Father J. C. Nieuwland of Notre Dame University.

Many specimens from outside our limits have been looked over in 
the preparation of this paper and the following general conclusions 
have been made. Two strictly northern species seem worthy of recog- 
nition: ©. californica DC. and @. leucophylla (Lindl). I have seen 
authentic material of C. obovata Benth., C. spathulata Gray, and C. 
caespitosa Greene, and these appear to be synonomous with C. califor- 
nica, having the same broad leaves, large heads and decumbent habit. 
Original material of C. leucophylla has not been available but the 
herbarium material labelled ©. lewcophylla seems to agree with the 
description in DC., Prodr. 5:278, 1836. It has very small, hoary, obovate, 
rather thick leaves and tomentose involucres and is low and spreading. 
CO. tomentella (H. and A.) T. & G. is synomous with @. leucophylla. 
All other plants in the genus fall into ©. filaginifolia of which the 
var. typica is a coastal form extending southward from Monterey to 
Santa Barbara. Rigida as a varietal name has been referred to Ben- 
tham, Pl. Hartweg., 316, 1849 (C. incana var.? rigida), but his use 
of the word “rigida’” was as a descriptive adjective (as Heller 
Muhlenbergia 2:256. 1906, points out), so that the name virgata ap- 
plies to the glandular coastal form of OC. filaginifolia, as the oldest 
name for that concept. C. viscidula Greene is a synonym of C. filagini- 
folia var. virgata. Rigida was made by Gray to include also the com- 
mon mountain form, but since this is quite distinct from the coastal 
plant, Greene’s name brevicula must be used.

*The collections referred to in the following references were not available for 
study and it was therefcre impossible to determine just what varieties of C. filagini- 
folia are involved. 


From Santa Cruz Island: 


C. filaginifolia of Greene, Bull. Calif. Acad. Sci. 2:401. 1887. 
Santa Rosa Island:

The variety was adequately distinguished from var. typica by Hall 
(U. C. Pub. Bot. 3:70. 1907) on the basis of stipitate glands in the 
inflorescence. It is the common plant along the coast from San Diego 
to Monterey and exhibits many variations but none clearly enough 
marked for nomenclatorial recognition. Material studied: San Diego 
Co.: Vicinity of San Diego, Spencer 12 (G, UC), Wright 123 (UC), 
Reynolds in 1897 (UC); San Diego, K. Brandegee in 1906 (UC), Purpus

Elmer 3856 (G, Po); Ellwood, Hastwood 217, type of C. filaginifolia 
var. floccosa (CA). 


Under C. filaginifolia var. virgata also are to be cited specimens 
referred by Greene to flagellaris, since these specimens all seem to be 
off-season growth. Those taken latest in the season most nearly 
approach ordinary virgata and the locality is in the range of virgata. 
Los Angeles Co.: Redondo, Braunton 280, type of C. flagellaris (US), 
Davy 7772 (UC); Near Redondo, Hall 6723 (UC); Manhattan Beach, 
Spalding in 1924 (Po). 


Extremes of variation in virgata are shown by: Hastwood 1385 (G), 
which has linear leaves and tomentose stems and leaves up to the 
involucre, and the Peirson specimen from Hagle Rock, which lacks 
tomentum and has broad obovate leaves. The former approaches var. 
linifolia. MacBride and Payson 782 (G) from Linda Vista lacks 
tomentum, leaving the inflorescence a sticky green. Abrams 298 (UC) 
from Playa del Rey and Abrams 2177 (Po) from Ballona Harbor 
approach (C. filaginifolia var. pacifica in size and shape of heads and 
stoutness of growth, but have not the very long stipitate involucral 
glands that characterize var. pacifica. Moxley 514 (UC) from Eaton 
Canyon represents a local variation, with broad oblong cauline leaves 
and very slender flowering branches with small heads. Lyon 7, in 1885 
(G) from Haton Canyon is the same. 


Plants from Catalina Island seem best referred to var. virgata, 
although some are rather peculiar. Eastwood 6517 (CA) from the 
Isthmus has the involucres quite wooly, but with the narrow bracts 
of virgata rather than linifolia. Another Eastwood collection from 
the same place, June 10, 1918, (CA) is quite definitely virgata, as are: 
Avalon, Trask in 1901 (AD), in 1900 (US), in 1898, type of C. lavan- 
dulacea (US).

Greene, Leaflets Bot. Obs. 2:26. 1910. 


Stems stiff, erect, 2-4 dm. (6) high, ligneous only at very base; 
tomentum close, deciduous from inflorescence and upper part of stem 
at time of blooming, leaving the involucre and the bare or sparsely 
bracted peduncles glandular; leaves spatulate to obovate with clasping 
base, characterized by a yellow green color made somewhat gray by the 
tomentose investiture, upper leaves sessile 1-5cm. long, 4-15mm. wide, 
lower narrowed into petioles and somewhat longer; inflorescence gen- 
erally a corymbose panicle, relatively few flowered; involucres 6-7mm. 
high, broadly turbinate, generally with recurved bracts; rays 10-12mm. 
long, violet to purplish. 


A practically herbaceous variety of the pine belt, ascending to 
about 8000 ft. altitude and fairly frequent in all the mountains from 
the Southern Sierras to the Lagunas of San Diego County, except 
in the eastern part of the San Gabriel range where it is apparently 
replaced by var. pinetorum, and from which it differs in being tomen- 
tose higher in the plant. It is further characterized by its peculiar 
grayish green tinge, sometimes accompanied by a touch of olive, and 
by its rather closely placed obovate or spatulate lower leaves. It 
frequents dry slopes and benches under pines.

5. Corethrogyne filaginifolia var. pinetorum Johnston, Bull. So. Calif. 


Acad. 18:21. 1915. Pl. World 22:119. 1919. 


Herbaceous with several short, slender, sub-erect stems, 1-4.5 dm. 
high; lower leaves and ca. 1 dm. of base of stem densely permanently 
tomentose, whole upper portion bright oily green with dense stipitate 
glands; leaves obovate to oblanceolate, petioled or with clasping base, 
generally entire or serrate near tip, blades 0.5-3 cm. long, 3-8 mm. 
wide; inflorescence relatively simple, corymbose with few heads, the 
branching divaricate and monocephalous; involucres turbinate, 5-7 
mm. high, bracts squarrose, rays purplish, 8 mm. long. 


This local and sometimes ill-defined variety has been collected at 
elevations ranging from 4,300 to 5,500 ft. and largely replaces var. 
brevicula in its region. Material studied: Los Angeles Co.: Browns 
Flats, Johnston 2137, type collection (Po, UC); Upper San Antonio 
Canyon, Johnston 1644 (Po, UC); 1 mi. So. of Sunset Peak, Johnston in 
1924 (Po, UC). ;

Hall U. C. Pub. Bot. 3:72. 1907. Davidson and Moxley, FI. So. 
Calif., 383. 1923. 


Stems stout, suffrutescent, somewhat depressed or ascending; 
floccose tomentum of stem and leaves deciduous only from inflores- 
cence, peduncles then glandular; leavés numerous along entire length 
of stem, becoming rather conspicuous bracts in the inflorescence, 
sessile or more commonly petioled, broadly obovate to spatulate, en- 
tire or serrate at the tip, length 2-4 cm., width 0.5-1.7 cm., inflores- 
cence a dense corymbose panicle; involucres hemispheric, involucral 
bracts linear, acuminate, 7-9 mm. long, 0.7-1 mm. wide, recurved, 
scarcely if at all glandular; rays 8-10 mm. long. 


13 


Material studied: Santa Barbara County: San Miguel Island, 
Greene in 1886, type collection (CA). The one specimen examined 
seems worthy of the varietal recognition Greene gives it on account of 
its stockiness, depressed habit, numerous broad leaves and recurring 
linear bracts that distinguish it from the mainland coastal form the 
var. virgata which it most nearly resembles. 


7. Corethrogyne filaginifolia var. Peirsoni n. var. 


Stems herbaceous, ligneous at base only, varying considerably 
in stoutness usually quite stout and spreading, 4-9 dm. high; tomen- 
tum deciduous only from upper parts or from more of the plant; 
leaves oblanceolate to obovate, serrate on upper half, 1-5 em. long, 
8-20 mm. wide; cauline leaves sessile, lower ones petioled and longer; 
inflorescence paniculate to virgate the non tomentose portions a dark 
green; involucres cylindric, diffusely glandular and somewhat scabrous, 
7-$ mm. high; bracts squarrose, imbricated in about 6 or more ranks, 
viscid, glandular with stout stipitate glands; rays 9-11 mm. long, red 
violet in color. 


Apparently a rather local variety of San Fernando Valley and 
vicinity. Amply characterized as a variety by the peculiar dark green 
color of the involucres and upper parts and by the red violet rays 
and the numerous squarrose bracts of the cylindrical involucres. The 
bracts have a tendency to continue on to the peduncle, as in Munz 7785 
and Pierson 270. 

Material studied: Los Angeles County: South side of Newhail 
Grade, Canby 13, (Po); Newhall, Munz 7785, Oct. 7, 1923; (type 
Pomona College Herbarium no. 18,222), Peirson 4159 (FP); 4 mi. n.

San Gabriel Mts., Pacoima Canyon, Peirson 270 (FP); Bouquet Canyon, 
Munz 7788 (Po). Munz 7788, a peculiarly narrow leaved plant from 
Bouquet Canyon, has the inflorescence, etc. of Peironi and for want 
of more material is referred here. Peirson 270 of Pacoima Canyon 
does not look typical and is probably a shade plant.

Fl. So. Calif, 383. 1923; Jepson, Man. Calif., 1043. 1925. 


Plant stout, erect, much branched above, 5-8 dm. high, “tomentum 
floccose, deciduous from the branchlets and involucres at time of 
flowering; leaves linear to narrowly lanceolate or oblanceolate, acute, 
entire or with few teeth, 2-5 em. long, 2-8 mm. wide; inflorescence ° 
an open panicle with numerous large heads, peduncles and involucres 
conspicuously glandular with long-stalked glands; involucres, hemi- 
spheric 10-12 mm. high; bracts imbricated, linear, acuminate, scarcely 
if at all recurved, “greenish except at chartaceous and strongly nerved 
base;”’ rays violet or purple, 11-12 mm. long. 


Known from but few collections along the coast in San Diego 
County. At first glance the large hemispheric heads of this plant 
seem indicative of specific rank but study of a number of specimens 
soon reveals intergrades with virgata and linifolia. To this variety the 


14 


following material may be referred: Pacific Beach, Purpus in 1899, 
(18987), type collection of pacifica (G, Po, UC); Del Mar, 
K. Brandegee in 1906 (UC); southern part of San Diego County, 
Palmer in 1875 (G); San Diego, Parry 1850 (G). The following 
specimens probably represent spring collections and are not typical 
of incana in the lack of branching in the inflorescence and in the 
presence of some tomentum in the involucre but by virtue of their 
large hemispherical heads and peculiar stalked glands they must be 
referred here; San Diego, Nuttall, type collection of incana (G), Cooper 
in 1860-61 (G). 


Since Nuttall’s specimen of incana without doubt applies to the 
same concept as Hall’s pacifica, and since incana was used as a varietal 
name long before pacifica, it must be used.

parently Jepson, Man. Calif., 1042. 1925, in part. 


Herbaceous or apparently suffrutescent, erect, 2-4 dm. high; per- 
manently hoary tomentose throughout including involucres; leaves, 
“erowded below, more scattered above, all narrowly linear, 2-5 cm. 
long,’ 1-2 (5) mm. wide; inflorescence with heads solitary on simple 
stems or on spreading branches; involucres broadly turbinate, 8-10 mm. 
high; bracts with spreading tips, imbricated in 5 ranks; rays violet, 
6-8 mm. long. 


Material studied: San Diego Co.: San Diego, Spencer 35 (G, UC); 
Del Mar, K. Brandegee in 1906 (G, UC); Torrey Pines, Collins and 
Kempton 211 (US); Encinitas, 7. 8S. Brandegee in 1894 (UC). A col- 
lection from Point Loma, Hall 8324 (G, Po, UC) has the narrow woolly 
leaves of linifolia but involucres and upper parts of stem are as green 
and glandular as in any virgata; it is quite intermediate between the 
two varieties. 


10. Corethrogyne filaginifolia var. sessilis (Greene) n. comb. 

C. sessilis Greene, Leaflets Bot. Obs. 2:25. 1910. C. filaginifolia var. 
rigida of Parish, Pl. World 20:257. 1917, in part. OC. filaginifolia var. 
latifolia of Jepson, Man. Calif., 1042. 1925 for San Bernardino Mts. 


Herbaceous, scarcely if at all suffrutescent, frequently rather stout 
esvecially in exposed positions; densely and rather permanently to- 
mentose on stems and involucres; height 1.5-7 dm.; leaves ovate to 
oblong-ovate to spatulate, entire or serrate at tip, grayish green to 
almost whitish in color, sessile (sometimes by broad clasping base) 
or lowermost petioled; blades 1-4 cm. long, 0.5-2 cm. wide; inflorescence 
varying from virgate on rather stout axis to open and spreading on a 
slender axis; peduncles when evident, commonly monocephalous and 
sparingly leafy-bracted; involucres campanulate, 8-12 mm. high, its 
bracts closely imbricated in about five series, with somewhat spread- 
ing tips and invested with a permanent somewhat floccose tomentum; 
rays violet, 10-12 mm. long. 


Abundant on dry, open hillsides and under pines in Upper Sonoran 
and Transition Zones of San Bernardino Mountains from about 4,000 
to 7,500 ft. altitude. Apparently taking on two forms, the typical, 
stout, densely tomentose virgate plant of open places and the more 
slender loosely branched, rather thinly tomentose one from shade. 
Amply characterized as a variety by its tomentose involucre, long 
rays, sparingly bracted peduncles and ovate to spatulate leaves. The 
following material is referred to this variety: without locality,

THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA “SPECIES OF SALVIA 


(including Ramona) 


By PHILIP A. MUNZ \ 
Professor of Botany, Pomona College 


During a period of some years of observation of our native species 
of Salvia, I have arrived at some conclusions that may be worthy of 
record. The work has been carried on in the field and herbarium, 
the most of the larger collections in the country having been examined. 
To the curators of these various herbaria, my gratitude is hereby 
expressed, particularly to Dr. B. L. Robinson of the Gray Herbarium 
and to Dr. N. L. Gardner of the University of California. In citing 
specimens from these herbaria, the abbreviations indicated in the fol- 
lowing parentheses are used: Gray Herbarium (G); New York Botan- 
ical Garden (NY); Philadelphia Academy of Sciences (Ph); United 
States National Herbarium (US); University of California (C); and 
Pomona College (P). 


For the most part the descriptions of species as given in Jepson’s 
new Manual of California (1925) are so adequate as to make redescrip- 
tion unnecessary. Occasionally I shall give a color note, where I 
disagree with Jepson. 


The use of the generic term Salvia for all our native sages does 
not mean that I necessarily feel that the genus Ramona must be 
suppressed. So far as my slight acquaintance with the.great genus 
Salvia goes, I incline toward so disposing of Ramona and here follow 
recent usage of a number of our best workers on California Botany 
(Parish, Hall and Jepson). But a final disposition of Ramona must 
be left for a more thorough student of the whole group. 


Even a superficial study of our plants leads one to believe in a 
number of cases of hybridization. I shall therefore discuss hybrids 
in a special section after the treatment of species.

TREATMENT OF SPECIES 


1. Salvia carduacea Benth., Lab. Gen. et Sp., 302. 1833. 


Corolla lavender to purple; anthers bright orange to vermillion. 


Type locality, “Hab. in California,’ Douglas. Locally abundant 
at low altitudes in the Sonoran Zones, growing on sandy plains and 
dry hills mostly of the interior portions of the coastal drainage, but 
occurring also along the western edge of the Colorado Desert and in 
the western half of the Mohave. Desert records for SAN DIEGO

IO typercoll: = (Cejyr 


4. Salvia funerea var. fornacis Jeps., Man. Calif., 868. 1925. 


Known from a single collection at Furnace Creek, Death Valley, 
Parish 10032 (C, G). The status of this variety must remain somewhat 
in doubt until more material is available. Of the collection of var. 
typica by Jones, there are at Pomona College four sheets, one of which 
(P. C. No. 78617) approaches the var. fornacis in the prominent veining 
of the leaves and floral bracts. However, all four sheets are consistent 
in having larger flowers, longer and very much more tomentose calyces 
than in fornacis.

Type locality, “plains of Columbia near the Priest’s Rapid and the 
clayey hills near the Big Birch,’ Douglas in 1826. I have studied 
the Douglas specimen at the Gray Herbarium and find very little dif- 
ference between typica and pilosa. The tendency toward more glabrous 
stems and inflorescence and toward having the lower lobes of the calyx 
slightly broader is about all I can discover. I refer to typica the 
following southern collections: CALIFORNIA, INYO COUNTY: Nel-

Type locality, “Northern base of San Bernardino Mts., on the bor- 
der of the Mojave Desert,” Parish. This variety has been too inclusive 
and should be restricted to plants bordering the Mojave Desert of 
California (where it is largely in the western and southern portions) 
and extending eastward into adjacent parts of Nevada and Arizona, 
growing on dry benches of Upper Sonoran Zone. Here I refer material 
such as the following: CALIFORNIA, MONO COUNTY: £4Northern

Type locality, Bear Valley, San Bernardino Mts. The differently 
shaped corolla (longer, more tubular, with smaller upper lip and 
shorted lateral lobes on the lower lip), the more definite and annular 
arrangement of hair in the corolla-tube, the larger floral bracts and 
leaves, aS well as the geographical distribution and higher life zone 
argue for the recognition of this plant as a distinct species. Where 
its range does overlap with that of S. carnosa var. pilosa, as at Cactus 
Flat in the San Bernardino Mts., the two plants growing almost side 
by side, maintain their strongly marked individual characters. For 
the most part found on dry slopes in the Transition Zone, though 
occasionally dropping into Upper Sonoran, as Munz 10501 and Hall 
2160, and Munz & Johnston 5247 listed below. Ranging as follows:

Type locality, “Hab. in California septentrionali,’’ Douglas. The 
usual form of the species, common on dry slopes and benches at low 
altitudes throughout the coastal part of our region. Occurring cer- 
tainly on two of the islands: Santa Catalina, L. W. Nuttall in 1920 
(P), ¢Millspaugh & Nutt., Field Mus. Pub. 212:241. 1923),.and Santa 
Cruz, Jones in 1924 (P), Brandegee in 1888 (C). The Brandegee 
reference in Zoe 1:143. 1890 to the occurrence on Santa Rosa Island 
may refer to the var. revoluta. in the southern part of its range 
typica has smaller heads and flowers than does more northern material, 
e. g. Spencer 132 from San Diego (G, NY) has the calyx 5-6 mm. 
long and corolla 10 mm., while Douglas’ type collection from ‘Nova 
California” (G) resembles the bulk of more northern plants in a 9 
mm. calyx and 12 mm. corolla. But in spite of this reduction in size 
in San Diego County plants. I have seen none that actually grade into 
the var. Jonesii which I am proposing for Ensenada and vicinity. 


14. Salvia mellifera var. revoluta (T. S. Brandg.) n. comb. (figs. 18 
& 19). 


Audibertia stachyoides var. revoluta Brandg., Proc. Calif. Acad., 
(2) 1:216. 1888. 


So far as I have been able to determine, this variety is known 
from but the type collection, Island of Santa Rosa, 7. S. Brandegee 
in June, 1888 (C, G). It is amply characterized by its peculiar strongly 
revolute leaves and very short stamens and pistil. For some time its 
superficial resemblance in leaf appearance to S. eremostachya caused 
confusion in my mind, but the much shorter corollas and revolute, 
more tomentose leaves distinguish it at once.

15. Salvia mellifera var. Jonesii n. var. (figs. 20 & 21). 

Stems slender, leaves oblanceolate, smaller than in typica, 1-2.5 
(4) em. long, quite smooth; internodes longer than leaves; floral bracts 
and calyces often purplish; calyx ca. 5 mm. long; corolla bright blue, 
10-12 mm. long; fertile stamens not long exserted as in var. typica. 

This well marked variety, while not within California itself, 
occurs so near to our border and is so clearly related to our Salvia 
mellifera var. typica as to be deserving of treatment here. It has 
received the herbarium name of Audibertia stachyoides var. australis 
Brandg., on a collection made by Brandegee at Ensenada in 1897 
(C, NY, P), but seems never to have been published. I take pleasure 
in naming it for Marcus E. Jones, of Pomona College, by whose col- 
lection at Gray Herbarium I was first made aware of its existence 
as a variety. TYPE: Near Ensenada, Lower California, Jones, April

Corolla distinctly blue, ca. 2 cm. long, with long well exserted tube. 


A remarkable feature of this species is its penetrating and per- 
sistent characteristic odor which is evident even in herbarium speci- 
mens that have been dry for many years.

The plants from the desert edge, while with the same morpho- 
logical characters as in typica have so different an appearance because 
of the spicate habit, as at first glance to resemble Vaseyi, under which 
name they are often distributed. They seem worthy. of varietal recog- 
nition. LOS ANGELES COUNTY: Acton, Hlmer 3684 (G, NY, P).

HYBRIDS 


1. Salvia apiana x S. mellifera. 


Foliage quite intermediate between the two parents, leaves usually 
shaped like those of mellifera, but paler and more tomentose; flowers 
arranged in capitate clusters, but these clusters frequently on branch- 
ing stems forming a sort of lax panicle (panicle not thyrsoid) ; 
floral bracts and calyces whitish pubescent; corollas with long ex- 
serted tube and well developed upper lip as well as lower. Hence, 
general aspect like that of a pale and tomentose plant of mellifera. 


I consider the following collections as belonging to this category: 
LOS ANGELES COUNTY: Santa Monica Canyon, Barber 117 (C, G, 
P); Sierra Madre, Abrams 1497 (P); Los Angeles, Davidson in 1896 
(C, G); Claremont, Ballow in 1924 (P), Crawford in 1915 (P); Pasa- 
dena, Allen 15 (G), McClatchie in 1897 (NY); Catalina, L. W. Nuttall 
in 1920 (P), Lyon 12 (G) labeled “Palmeri” by Gray (Cf. Brandg., 
Zoe 1:142. 1890). SAN BERNARDINO COUNTY: Hills so. of On- 
tario, Johnston 1264 (P); San Bernardino, Parish 4382 (G, NY), 
11337 (P); Cajon Pass, Hall 3012 (C). RIVERSIDE COUNTY: 
Jurupa Hills near Riverside, Wilder 627 (P); Santa Rosa Mts., Munz 
5829, apparently apiana var. compacta x mellifera (P). 


2. X. Salvia Palmeri (Gray) Greene, Pittonia 2:236. 1892. 


Audibertia Palmeri Gray, Bot. Calif. 1:601. 1876. Awdibertiella 
Palmeri Briq., Bull. Herb. Boiss. 2:73. 1894. Ramona Palmeri Bria., 
1. c., 440. 1894. Not Salvia Palmeri Gray, Proc. Am. Acad. 21:408. 
1886. 

A hybrid petween apiana and Clevelandii with the general aspect 
of Clevelandii but with paler and more tomentulose leaves almost like 
those of apiana; flowers in definite capitate clusters with as many as 
eight in a spike and with inflorescence tending to branch; corolla 
quite tubular, tube well exserted, upper lip shorter than in Clevelandii 
and with shorter stamens; Clevelandii odor very much weakened. 


I have seen the type material at the Gray Herbarium and am 
thoroughly satisfied of the hybrid nature. SAN DIEGO COUNTY: 
Tighes Ranch, S. part of San Diego County, Palmer in 1875, type coll. 
(G); Palmer 308, in 1875 probably same coll. (NY); George Stone 
Ranch, same as Tighe Ranch, 7. S. Brandegee in 1904 (C); Descanso 
Grade, K. Brandegee in 1906 (C); Torrey Pines Park, Munz & Ballou 
7946 (P). 


3. Salvia apiana x S. leucophylla. 
Suggesting S. apiana x S. mellifera, but with white leaves. and 
larger heads (over 4 cm. broad) from San Juan Capistrano, Orange 
Co., Nevin 686, in 1882 (G), labeled “Audibertia Palmeri’ by Dr. Gray. 


4. X. Salvia bernardina Parish, Bull. Calif. Acad. 1:211. 1885. 

Salvia Columbariae var. bernardina Jeps., Man. Calif., 869. 1925. 

Suggesting S. Columbariae but taller, with leaves only once pin- 
atifid (the divisions then lobed), strongly bicolored, and distributed 
along a considerable part of stem; upper lip of calyx with 3 strong 
spinelike teeth; stamens with lower end of connective antheriferous. 


26 


I ineline to the belief that this is a hybrid, since it is met with 
so rarely and then apparently only where both species are found, 
and since it resembles Coluwmbariae in flower and in leaf-lobing, and 
mellifera in strongly bicolored leaves with less lobing, in greater 
height of plant and in distribution of leaves along stem. SAN BER- 
NARDINO COUNTY: San Bernardino, Parish 4383 (C, G), Feudge 2 
(P); Lytle Creek, Parish 1736 (G); Cajon Canyon, Johnston in 1920 
CED: 

It is perfectly evident that if there is so much hybridization 
among our native species of Salvia, some attempt should be made to 
produce artificial hybrids and prove the hybrid nature of plants about 
which we now conjecture. Some attempt has been made here at Clare- 
mont, but various mishaps to the plants, which were being used but 
which grew in the wild where they could not be protected from the 
curious, have so far prevented our obtaining definite results. 


EXPLANATION OF PLATES 
(Salvia carduacea, S. Columbariae, and S. apiana are not illus- 
trated; the first one does not need illustration and the two latter 
are sufficiently figured in Jepson’s Manual of California. The draw- 
ings for our other species are given in these two plates. They have 
been made at various times and with different instruments and are 
not all on the same scale. For that reason, size is given for each.

INTRODUCTION 


The present list is a continuation of our Check List of the Diurnal 
Lepidoptera of Boreal America. The same general introductory re- 
marks apply. 


Considerable time and energy has been expended during the past 
two years in an effort to eliminate as many errors as possible; and 
there has been much communication with practically all institutions 
containing specific types of the organisms involved. We wish to 
again issue our warning that lists are only tentative, and contain 
many errors. For example, we have endeavored to learn the exact 
status of the names applied by Professor M. Draudt in the genus 
Cisthene. The types of these, with the exception of costimacula (see 
B. & Benj., 1926, Ins. Insc. Menst., XIV, 1), are presumably in the 
British Museum being the specimens listed by Hampson, 1900, Cat. 
Lep. Phal. B. M., II, as “ab. 1’, etc., mostly under the name “Jilice 
unifascia.’” We are greatly indebted to Mr. Tams for many kinda- 
nesses, one of the least of which was an attempt to place these 
names. As yet we are not certain of the status of any of them. Pro-

indicate certain facts usually omitted from check lists, but which 
numerous friends assure us are of decided value. 


* indicates that the organism does not occur, or is of decidedly 
doubtful occurrence, within the fauna we are considering.

NAMES OMITTED FROM THIS LIST BUT APPEARING ON THE 
BARNES & McDUNNOUGH CHECK LIST, OR UPON 
“RECENT REVISIONAL PAPERS 


Paonias astylus hyb. interfaunus Neum. Mr. Jacob Doll told Mr. 
F. H. Benjamin that a 92 ocellata from a European pupa had escaped 
a private collector's home, and rested on a fence. While there, a ¢ 
astylus copulated with it. The types of interfaunus were reared from 
eges of that pair. The name has no status under the Int. Zool. Code. 


Erinnyis guttularis syn. pallida Bdv. Not a new name, being 
a presumable misdetermination of pallida Grt. 


“Celerio lineata syns. melancholica Grt. and piperis G. & R.” Pre- 
sumably synonyms of Hrinnyis enotrus, but placed under both names 
in the B. & McD. Check List. 


Philosamia cynthia Dru. Name “restricted” by various authors 
to the Javan race, insularis, but Drury gives locality as China. “A 
great deal has been written upon the question. Watson, in Packard, 
Monograph Bom. Moths, III, questions if the true cynthia is the Javan 
one. The N. Am. cynthia,’—advena Pack., appears to have been 
derived from walkeri being from eggs received by Dr. Thomas Stew- 
ardson from Guérin-Ménéville, (part of the French attempt to rear 
walkeri for silk), and possibly again introduced by Herman Strecker’s 
liberation of adults reared from eggs laid by Chinese walkeri near 
Reading, Pa. True cynthia is probably distinct from walkeri. 


Rothschildia jorulla syn. splendida Clem. Not a new name, 
simply a presumably erroneous determination of splendida Beauv. 


Automeris pamina aurosea syn. boucardi Druce. Exotic. See 
1922, B. & Benj., Contrib., V, (1), 7. 


Apantesis quenselii syn. liturata Mén. Specimens supplied us by 
Dr. Bang-Haas indicate that this is a form differing from quenselii 
and not found in N. Am.

A NEW RACE OF HEMARIS DIFFINIS 
(Lepid., Sphingidae) 
By WM. BARNES and F. H. BENJAMIN, 
Decatur, Illinois 


Hemaris diffinis race jordani nov. 


Much like thetis but with reddish cast and apical spot on the 
primary as in rubens. From this latter it may easily be distinguished 
by its much less hairy thorax and abdomen. From ariadne it can be 
distinguished by its more uniform greenish thoracic coloration, and 
by its abdominal markings which are much like those of rubens. 


This is one of the forms called thetis by Rothschild and Jordan 
(Revision Sphingidae), and discussed by Barnes and McDunnough 
(1910, Psyche, XVII, 203) as rubens (in part). 


Thirty-four examples of rubens from various British Columbia 
localities, Wallace, Idaho, and Modoc Co., California are before the 
authors. These are all quite hairy in appearance and do not seem 
to intergrade with other diffinis forms. 


Type locality: Southern Utah (Wm. Barnes and O. C. Poling). 


Number and sexes of types: Holotype ¢@, Allotype 9, 36 4, 4 9 
Paratypes. 


Notes: A somewhat shorter series from Arizona may represent 
the present subspecies. The difference in size mentioned by Barnes 
and McDunnough, (1910), does not hold in the twenty-eight Arizona 
examples now in the Barnes Collection. 


IN MEMORIAM: HOLDRIDGE OZRO COLLINS 


As he was alighting from an interurban car, near his home in 
Hollywood, February 19th, 1927, Holdridge Ozro Collins was run down 
by a reckless motorist, and instantly killed. Although Mr. Collins 
was 83 years of age, he was sound mentally and physically, and a 
man of remarkable caution and alertness; hence it is certain that 
the driver of the automobile was inexcusable for his atrocious act. 
This is attested by the fact that he did not stop to render assistance, 
but ran away at breakneck speed, and it is much to be regretted 
that his identity was not discovered. There were two young men 
and two women in the machine, and, although they managed to escape 
apprehension, they will carry a cloud of guilt on their consciences 
as long as they live. 


Mr. Collins was one of the early active members of the Academy 
of Sciences, and rendered valuable service to that organization when 
it most needed support. In May, 1908, he was elected Secretary, and 
he filled that position most efficiently for nearly twelve years. He 
was interested in every phase of scientific development, and had a 
gift for recording, filing, indexing and keeping the documents and 
records of the Academy in a readily available shape. He had a fine 
literary instinct and an appreciation of scientific values, which en- 
abled him to edit the Academy’s Bulletin in a most able manner during 
his incumbency as Secretary. These services were all performed 
gratuitously. 


Mr. Collins was born in Sennett, Cayuga County, New York, Dec. 
10th, 1844, the son of Ozro and Ann Van Etten Collins. His early 
training was in the public schools of New York, Connecticut and Ohio. 
He graduated from St. Louis University with the degree of LL.B. 
After this full preparation he entered Harvard University, and gradu- 


D1 


ated with full honor in 1867. Choosing the law as his profession, he 
was in due time admitted to the Bar and practiced in Chicago for 
many years. On removing to Los Angeles in 1889 he continued in 
practice almost up to the time of his death. 


While a resident of Illinois he married Miss Mary Ballance, 
daughter of Charles Ballance, of Peoria. From this union there were 
born four children, Rejoyce Ballance Collins, Gladys Collins, Con 
stance Dorothy Collins and Jessie Fremont Collins. Two of the 
daughters died in infancy, and Rejoyce married Charles Maclay 
Booth; and Constance married Noel Condiff Edwards. Mrs. Collins 
died some twenty years ago, but the two married daughters still 
reside in or near Los Angeles. 


Military service was always attractive to Mr. Collins, and he 
entered upon this avocation, quite actively. He became a member 
of the Illinois National Guard, being eventually appointed Assistant 
Adjutant General of the State of Illinois with the rank of Lieutenant- 
Colonel. Rendering valued service for his state and city during the 
railroad riot of 1887, he with two other officers wer presented with a 
pistol and sabre by the Council of the City of Chicago. 


Having previously connected himself with the Society, Sons of 
the Revolution in the State of New York, it was quite natural that 
he should formulate a plan to organize a State Society of the same 
patriotic institution in California. In 1893, he associated with him- 
self five other gentlemen who became Founders of the California So- 
ciety. They were Col, Holdridge Ozro Collins, Col. John Miner Carey 
Marble, Lieut. Col. William Anthony Elderkin, U. S. A., Capt. Charles 
Lee Collins, Col. Edward Thomas Harden and Mr. James Monroe 
Allen. These gentlemen, of patriotic and loyal lineages instituted in 
May, 1893, and incorporated May 8th of the same year, the Society, 
Sons of the Revolution, in the State of California. Colonel Collins 
was its first President which office he retained until 1907, and was 
again elected President for the period from 1909 to 1912. He always 
interested himself in the publications of the Society, preparing and 
printing many of its pamphlets. In this service he prepared a history 
of the institution and organization of the General Society, Sons of the 
Revolution, which is the standard source of reference upon those 
points. For several years, he served as General Historian of the General 
Society, and at the time of his death was Historian of the California 
Society, having just recently issued a printed report in that. official 
capacity which had been transmitted by mail, in envelopes addressed 
by his own hand, just previous to his death. Painstaking, thorough 
and faithful to fact and detail, he was a careful recorder of the events 
and achievements of the Society.

NEW TRANSITION FORMS or “ABS.” 


(LEPID. RHOPALOCERA) 
By J. D. GUNDER, Pasadena, Calif. 


The generic names herein used follow the Jan. 1926, Barnes & 
Benjamin List. All classification references to transition forms are 
as per article on page 132, vol. 38, May, 1927, Entom. News. Where 
necessary, these specimens will be illustrated later in a private pub- 
lication by the Author. 


POLYGONIA SATYRUS (Edw.), race MARSYAS (Hdw.), nov. tr. 
f. HOLLANDI. 

Mr. W. H. Edwards in vol. 2, Grapta plate 3 of “Butterflies of 
North America” very clearly illustrates in color this interesting 
transition form. His fig. 5 shows the upperside and fig. 6 shows 
the underside. Mr. Edwards in text simply refers to it as a “suf- 
tused” marsyas. Upon examining Huropean “aberrations” of ‘“Graptas,”’ 
I find this American specimen worthy of a special name. As Mr. Ed- 
wards figures the specimen so well, a detailed description here would 
seem unnecessary. 

Classification: transition form; melanifusism, degree final (note 
position of black, comparing it to final degree of Cynthia carye, tyr. f. 
letcheri, for example). 

Data: Holotype @; expanse 50 mm.; locality, etc. as per EKd- 
wards text; in Edwards Coll. at Carnegie Museum, Pittsburgh, Pa., as 
per letter dated April 14, 1927 from Mr. Hugo Kahl in which he 
says Dr. Avinoff and himself located the specimen without difficulty. 

Note: Named after Dr. W. J. Holland to whom American lepi- 
dopterists owe much thanks for preserving the great Edwards Collection. 


LYCAENA THOF (Guer.), nov. tr. f. WORMSBACHERI. 

All the orange-red ground color found on typical specimens here 
becomes yellow on both upper and under sides. The maculation is un- 
changed. 

Classification: Transition form; chromatism, color sequence—red 
to yellow. 

Data: Holotype 9; expanse 34 mm.; in coll. of Henry Wormsbacher, 
Cleveland, Ohio; to be deposited later in the U. S. Nat. Museum, Wash- 
ington, D. C. 

Note: The above specimen was received for description in May, 
1926, from Mr. Wormsbacher. I regret this long delay in recording its 
validity. 


CYNTHIA CARYE (Hbn.), nov. tr. f. NIVOSA. 

Typical in all respects except that the normal yellow-orange ground 
color here becomes white or rather a whitish color. Very similar to 
Cynthia cardui, tr. f. pallens. This latter reference is unrecorded in 
Am. Lists to date; but should be noted in future catalogues as a 
specimen is in the Author’s coll. being taken at San Diego, Calif. 

Classification: Transition form; albinism, color change final. 

Data: Holotype ¢; expanse 50 mm.; San Francisco (Cottle), 
Aug. 1915; in Author’s collection. 

Note: The above holotype specimen is illustrated in Comstock’s 
“Butterflies of California,” plate 44, fig. 3.

THE BONE DRIFT IN THE TAR-BEDS OF 
RANCHO LA BREA 


By JAMES Z. GILBERT 


To the west of Los Angeles, now chiefly within the city limits, 
lies a comparatively level plain. (Fig. 1.) In the midst of this plain 
was discovered by the writer and others the most remarkable deposit 
of prehistoric animal remains ever unearthed:—great in variety of 
species of plants, birds and mammals; enormous in quantity, perfect 
in preservation in a matrix of tar, and unique in the methods of 
accumulation. 

Literature is not wanting in description of the species of animals 
and piants found in these beds, but the methods of accumulation have 
received little publicity in print. Two methods have been proposed, 
one known as the “trap’’* method and the other, the “drift” * method. 
The evidences of the latter so far as the writer is aware, have not 
been given except in his early lectures before scientific societies and 
to visiting scientists*. 

The trap method of accumulation considers that the animals were 
caught by accident in the tarry mass in their passing, or by sinking 
while drinking of the shallow water in the pool or eating of the scanty 
vegetable growth around it. The drift method finds evidences of 
alternating rainy and dry seasons, the death of animals on a building 
plain, and tar-seeps or springs for capturing the drifting bones and 
other debris in flood-time. Since evidences indicating the drift method 
of deposit have been confirmed during the years following the early 
discoveries, this method may well be set forth in a more extended 
sketch. 


GENERAL CONDITIONS 


The deposit of these Pleistocene fossils lies near the surface of 
a bread, slightly undulating flood-plain (Pl. 6) which rises toward 
the Santa Monica Mountains on the north and slopes gently to the 
south and west toward the sea some 14 miles away. The fossil bearing 
portion is limited to a few acres in area and to a depth ranging from 
three or four feet from the present surface to about thirty feet below. 
The bones occur in very limited spaces only where the preserving tar 
appeared. 


The chief part of the plain is made up of fresh-water materials 
brought down during the Pleistocene age from higher levels and 
spread out in valley form during the flood season thru a long period 
of time. The soil analysis also shows the fresh-water origin and the

were deposited. 


structure indicates here and there alternating layers of sand, gravel, 
clay and silt and over all the recent soil. The formation of the tar- 
seeps, pools (Pl. 7) or mounds (PI. 8) which are responsible for 
the capture of the drifting materials, is unique resulting from the 
combination of a number of conditions. The plain of Pleistocene 
material is underlaid with the Pliocene and Miocene formations, 
which at this place imprison quantities of oil and gas of the oil- 
sands. This tarry material* is under great pressure, thereby 
making possible the hundreds of oil wells (Pl. 10) of this district, 
and during ages past has been forced up thru cracks and 
crevices in the overlying strata to the surface. Here the gas forms 
tar bubbles which break as the gas escapes into the air and the tarry 
mass remains behind. Water also in most cases is brought up with 
the escaping gas and all together frequently form a sticky mass 
which penetrates the soil for from a few inches to several feet around. 
These places in the rainy season became soft and may have served 
to capture straying animals as at present, but more likely to have 
served a lodging place for passing materials. Sometimes the tar 
accumulated in the depression around the mouth of the vent or 
“spring” (Pl. 7) and formed a small pool. This might have become 
filled with water, and covered with a film of lighter oil. Again the tar 
in other places being thicker would build up in the overflow a low 
broad mound (PI. 8), which with the other places would form ideal

conditions for the capture of anything that might float into them— 
such as sand, smal! animals, leaves, twigs, limbs and trunks (PI. 12) 
of trees and bones of animals scattered over the plain. Once lodged 
this mterial would gradually be covered with the dust of the dry 
season and sealed for all time by the rising tar. 


These pits or tar-springs occur in an irregular line across the 
flood-plain almost at right angles to the general direction of the slope 
and flow and the debris was found chiefly on the side of the mounds 
or pools nearest the source of the flood. Yet another corroborating 
evidence is found in the fact that these beds are found nearer the 
middle of the plain which is also the lowest portion now being cut 
thru by a shallow depression. It is also observed that at other tar- 
seeps in the vicinity, where drifting was not favorable, these animal 
remains are not found. Lastly it should likely be noted that the drift 
method better accounts for the conditions in which the fragmentary 
human remains were found. In some such fashion, therefore, the 
chimney-like forms or columns of bones and debris were built up 
from season to season until the extinction of the race occurred.

EVIDENCES WITHIN THE DEPOSITS 


Within the deposits many evidences of the drift method of accu- 
mulation are found. The soil around the piles of bones is of fresh 
water origin. The matrix is a tarry mass of sandy soil, soft or hard, 
depending much upon the relative amount of liquid tar present. The 
bones themselves became completely saturated with the tar and every 
foramen and cavity became filled with every kind of debris. Packed 
in and around the bones were found sand, fine and coarse gravel,

PLATE 10.

ceased about four feet below the present surface of the plain. 


small boulders, seeds, cones of trees yet native in the mountains, 
several species of insects, leaves, twigs, broken limbs and badly worn 
trunks of trees—all massed together and most certainly brought 
together by wash. Parts of skeletons were found in most unusual 
places as a rib or a tooth, or a carpal in the neural canal of a ver- 
tebra or the scutes of the giant ground sloth, the phalanges of the 
wolf and a tooth of the lion in the cranial cavity of some skull. 


The specimens show a larger number of aged and younger indiv- 
iduals than of the middle aged ones. The skeletons were never com- 
plete, it being the rarest occasion when the major part of a skeleton 
of an individual could be found, and only such parts of the many as 
could resist destruction—limb bones, vertebrae, skulls and teeth are 
the most common finds. The elements of the skeleton were invariably 
separate, scattered, and most often fragmentary, doubtless by having 
suffered complete separation and scattering on the plain, break and 
wear in the transportation, decay outside the preserving tar or gnaw- 
ing by the carnivorous animals. Occasionally two or more consecu- 
tive bones, e. g. vertebrae were found together, but only because of 
adhesions in disease. Again the skeletal elements were found in the 
most topsy-turvy relation possible. For example to remove from the 


64 


PLATE 11.

tiger, wolf and sloth skulls with other bones and debris. 


pit a bone of the camel which was in sight, 23 other bones of 12 dii- 
ferent animals had to be removed first. Or in another case, side by 
side in contact with each other were found the skulls of a mastodon 
(Pl. 11), a sabre-toothed tiger, a wolf and a giant ground sloth, all 
packed about by other bones. Thus the skeletal parts were so mixed, 
and the elements of a single individual so few in one place that the 
sorting and matching of bones proved the longest and most difficult 
task for the museum paleontologist. Indeed parts of the same indi- 
vidual in different pits was an occurrence not unknown. 


This scattering far and near can be easily accounted for by the 
work of carnivorous animals and the flood of shallow waters. All in 
all it would take no wild stretch of the imagination to picture what 
most likely occurred in those ancient days of starvation, struggle and 
extinction. For evidentiy during the extinction of this most remark- 
able fauna this plain was in process of building, affording here and 
there vegetable growth and water, and continued to build for some 
time after the last individuals had perished. Thus the aged and 
young, the weak and strong, the diseased and sound, wandered 
in their struggle for existence over the plain, grazed, ate, drank and 
perished from starvation or by the attacks of ravenous beasts and 
birds. These animals abounded in astonishing numbers and in the 
last hopeless struggle fought each other only to leave their remains 
on the field of strife, victims of their own ravages. Thus from year 
to year the struggle went on, leaving the scattered bones of enemies 


65 


and prey alike to bleach in the summer sun, only to be carried with 
the floods of winter and left stranded in their tarry beds, there, with 


other debris to be sealed for all time. In some such manner the bone 


drift in the tar beds of Rancho La Brea was accumulated.

JOHN ADAMS COMSTOCK 


Early in the spring of this year I received from Mr. Fred Thorne 
of San Diego, a few eggs of Huphydryas quino. The following notes 
and accompanying drawing were prepared therefrom. 


EF. quino Behr. Egg; slightly taller than broad, the upper half 
fluted with about 20 vertical ribs, and the lower half pitted. Base 
broadly rounding. Micropyle not depressed. Minute, barely perceptible 
horizontal ridges occur on the floor of the grooves between the vertical 
columns. 

Color, at first yellow, changing to a brownish-yellow. 

A race of Tharsalea arota occurs in the Tejon Mountains which 
is about intermediate between the typical form, and the race nubila. 
Examples of this were noted ovipositing on Ribes cereum. The egg 
did not differ from that of nwbila, which has been previously illustrated 
in “Butterflies of California,’ except for a slightly more pyramidal 
form. The food-plant is a new record. 


PLATE 13.

much enlarged. 


TE 14 
Egg of Tharsalea Arota nubila, enlarged. 


Callipsyche behrii Edw. Ege. Echinoid, with a deep micropyle, 
surrounding which is a circular eminence. About half as broad as 
high, and covered with pearly projections irregularly placed. These 
are largest on the outer circumference and smallest as they approach 
the micropyle. Around each of these pearly knobs are a number of 
deep pits, which show only with higher magnification. 

Color, when first laid, yellow, changing in 5 to 10 seconds to a 
glistening white. 


In the Tejon Mountains, near Lebec, the females were observed 
Ovipositing on Purshia glandulosa, the first week in July. 


Heodes heteronea clara Hy. Edw. This blue is one of the rarest 
Californian Species, being confined to the Tehachapi and Tejon regions. 
It is exceedingly local in spite of the fact that the genus of food-plants 
on which it is dependent is widely distributed and abundant through- 
out the state. 


It was my good fortune to find a colony of this butterfly near 
Lebec, in the Tejon Mountains, during the first week in July of this 
year. The females were observed ovipositing on Hriogonwm fascicula- 
tum and E. microthecum. The first named seemed to be the preferred

plant. A number of eggs were collected, and from these the accompany- 
ing drawing and description were prepared. 

Hee. Covered by irregular depressions separated by thin upright 
walls, at the junctures of which are projecting papillae. This gives 
the entire egg a spiny appearance. Shape, nearly spherical, about four- 
fifths as tall as broad; the micropyle a deep pit with abrupt walls. 

Color, when first laid a delicate green, changing in a few seconds 
to clear white. 

The eggs are laid, usually, on the under side of the leaves of 
Briogonum. 

As clara is only a geographic race of heteronea, it is likely that 
the parent species has much the same egg, and feeds on the same genus 
of plants.

Mr. T. M. Blackman of Los Angeles has presented me with ova 
ot Ochlodes agricola Bdv. together with a sketch of the newly emerged 
larva, from which the following brief description is prepared. 


gg. Cone-shaped, as per the accompanying cut; the surface cov- 
ered with slightly raised ridges in a minute honeycomb pattern. Color, 
dull white. See page 70. Plate 18. 


Newly emerged larva. White; head black and shiny. A narrow 
black transverse band on dorsal area of second segment, with a black 
lateral spot below each end of this band. Small black spots on seg- 
ments 3 to 13, on dorsal and lateral areas, disposed as shown in the 
cut. Legs and prolegs, white. 


On page 165, fig. A52b of “Butterflies of California” is shown a 
figure of the larva of Phasiana curvata. This interesting Geometrid 
caterpillar imitates to a remarkable degree, the terminal twigs of the 
juniper. It is marked in a series of diamond shaped spots, with vary- 
ing shades of green, the pattern becoming darker and more clearly 
defined in the last larval instar. 


The chrysalis of this moth is illustrated in the accompanying 
figure, which renders a description unnecessary; it is a deep glistening 
black.

pod absolutely glabrous except a tiny tuft of hairs on tip of lower 
sepal and a few hairs in the cleft of the upper sepal. The flowers 
have a characteristic pepper like odor. 

Type No. 3645. Sequoia National Park, July 1927. Abundant in 
the meadow near the main camp. 

I first saw this plant many years ago and was struck by its 
unusual fragrance but I failed to secure fruit. This season Mrs. 
Susan. Hutchinson gathered complete specimens. She informs me 
that the natives there know it as the pepper lupine. 


DELPHINIUM INFLEXUM na. sp.

Su Memoriam 
ARTHUR BURNETT BENTON 


Arthur Burnett Benton, one of the most widely known architects 
of California and past President of the Southern California Academy 
of Sciences, died at his home in Los Angeles, September 18th, 1927. 
Nearly two years ago Mr. Benton underwent a serious surgical opera- 
tion, from which he apparently recovered, and was able to resume the 
practice of his profession, but was prostrated again, and after lingering 
several months in a sanitarium, passed away. Mr. Benton was a man 
of sunny temperament and, aside from his professional work, took a 
leading part in many social, cultural and intellectual activities. He 
was a member of the Old Colony Club, Jonathan Club, and Union 
League Club. He was Governor of the California Society of the 
Colonial Wars from 1908 to 1910; President of the Society Sons of the 
Revolution, 1925-26; President of the Southern California Academy of 
Sciences, 1913-16; Fellow of the American Institute of Architects, and 
served as President of the Southern California Chapter; past President 
Association of Engineers and Architects for Southern California; 
Secretary and Architect of the Landmarks Club; served as Vice-Presi- 
dent of the Los Angeles Municipal Art Commission; was a member 
of the Board of Governors of the Los Angeles County Museum; former 
vestryman of St. Paul’s Pro-Cathedral; on the advisory board for the 
restoration of the Santa Barbara Mission, and rendered assistance in 
the restoration of the missions of San Juan Capistrano, San Fernando, 
Palo, San Diego and San Luis Rey. 


Mr. Benton was born in Peoria, Ill., April 17th, 1858. He attended 
the grade and high school of his native city, graduated from the latter 
in 1877. Following this he took a course of two years in the School of 
Art and Design at Topeka, Kans. He was a farmer in Morris County, 
Kans., for eight years, then took a position as architectural draftsman 
in the office of the Chief Engineer of the Atchison, Topeka and Santa 
Fe Railway, at Topeka, Kans., 1887-88; draftsman in the office of the 
Chief Engineer of tke Union Pacific Railroad at Omaha, Neb., 1889-91. 
He came to California in 1891, first settling in Santa Barbara, where he 
did some architectural work, then coming to Los Angeles in 1892, 
when he established an office on his own account, which was main- 
tained until the time of his death. 


Mr. Benton’s most notable achievement in architecture is-the Mis- 
sion Inn, at Riverside, which is unique and world-famous. To this great 
enterprise he gave much study, as it was gradually building up through 
a period of 27 years. It is probably the most complete expression of 
the Mission type of architecture in all phases to be found in the United 
States. This and other work on these lines gained for Mr. Benton 
an enviable reputation, and he was regarded as the highest authority 
on the Mission type of architecture. However, he did not confine his 
efforts to this style, but approved himself a master planner in several 
others. He designed the New Arlington Hotel at Santa Barbara, the 
Y. M. C. A. and the Y. W. C. A. buildings at Los Angeles, the Clark 
Memorial Home for young women, the building for the Mission Play 
at San Gabriel, restorations of old missions at San Diego, San Juan 
Capistrano and San Luis Obispo, many dwellings, sclicols, churches, 
hospitals, etc. 


71 


Altogether, Mr. Benton led a busy and a useful life, making a 
strong impress upon the culture of his time, and leaving monuments 
to attest his worth to coming generations. He was not only an archi- 
tect with artistic and romantic gifts, but he was a poet as well. He 
wrote ‘a poem setting forth the traditions back of the Mission Inn, 
published in an illuminated de luxe edition, illustrated by Mr. Sharpe, 
his artistic assistant, which is probably the most beautiful book ever 
issued in California. 


Mr. Benton was married in Morris County, Kansas, in 1883, to 
Phillipina Harriet Schilling-Von Constact. His wife and one daughter, 
Edith May Benton, survive him.

TRANSACTIONS OF THE ACADEMY 


Academy Meeting 


Regular meeting of Academy was held in the Auditorium of the 
Los Angeles Public Library June 7th, 1927. The speaker of the eve- 
ning was Mr. H. K. Sergent, who delivered an extremely interesting 
and instructive address on “Worlds Around Us.” It was illustrated by 
numerous slides from the latest photographs made with the tele- 
scope on Mt. Wilson, as well as pictures by the lecturer, and simply 
depicted Mans’ relations to the distant orbs of the Universe in which 
we live. 


Annual Meeting 


The annual meeting was held in the banquet hall of the Artland 
Club on June 29th, 1927. At the close of the dinner reports of the 
President, Secretary and Treasurer were heard. Motion carried to 
reinstate present Board of Directors for following year. The meet- 
ing adjourned to the Music Room where an illustrated lecture was 
given by Mr. B. R. Baumgardt, F.R.A.S. The subject was ‘Joan of 
Arc; in the Footsteps of the Maid of France Through La Touraine 
and Along the Loire’’. It was the same lecture the speaker had recently 
given before the National Geographic Society in Washington, creating 
so much praise of the artistic merit of the pictures and talk. Mem- 
bers of the Academy not present missed one of the best lectures of 
the year. 


Academy Meeting 


On September 15th, 1927, regular meeting was held in Artland Club 
and Mr. C. Warren Temple, artist and world traveler, spoke of “Life 
Among the Arabs,” gained from years of observation living with them 
as one of them. The talk was illustrated by pictures never before 
shown of the holy places of the East. The speaker wore the native 
costume of the Bedouins. 


Academy Meeting 


Mr. Keith Kennedy of Australia, well known musician and lec- 
turer, delivered a most unusual talk to the Academy on “Music of 
Many Lands.” From his great collection he demonstrated the devel- 
opment of modern instruments from primitive sound producers of 
ancient and barbaric peoples. The lecture was he!d September 26th, 
1927, at the Artland Club Music Room. 


73 


Academy Meeting 


Regular meeting was held with the Nature Club at the Public 
Library on November 1st, 1927. Our ex-President, Dr. F. GC. Clark,

Meeting held in Artland Club, November 4th, 1927, was addressed 
by Prof. H. H. Nininger, A.M., on “Meteors and Meteorites,” illus- 
trated by specimens from his marvelous collection, one of the most 
complete private collections in existence. The talk gave the latest 
scientific thought on these masses from space. 


Board Meeting

A LIST OF THE MARINE FISHES

THE MARINE FISHES (THELEOSTET) 
OF SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 


The foilowing list of the fishes (Teleostei) of Southern California 
includes those taken between the Mexican boundary on the South and 
Point Conception on the North, including the region off the Channel 
Islands. 

We have included the species reported by the authorities quoted 
and those taken during the explorations made with the Marine Station 
launch, the Anton Dohrn. 

Our chief purpose has been to facilitate the study of the fishes of 
this region, thereby stimulating an interest in their study. To this 
end the key to the families of fishes found in Southern California 
waters has been published in the Bulletin of the Academy of Science, 
Southern California, March-April, 1924. Sufficient references are given 
with each species to enable the student readily to refer to the stand- 
ard publications on these fishes. We have included in the Bibliog- 
raphy appended a fairly complete list of the more important publica- 
tions relating to Southern California fishes. 

The List does not include a series of forms taken near the arbi- 
trary boundary line we have set. A considerable number of these 
border line species will doubtless be taken in the near future. These 
will be included in a subsequent list. 

Concerning the distribution of the species listed we have given 
the general distribution reported by the authors quoted, and in the 
case of forms in our collections (indicated by the asterisk*) we have 
given somewhat in detail the locality from which the species was 
taken. 

In the maps the hauls made with the trawl are indicated by the 
letter “T,’’ each being followed by a serial number, and those made 
with the dredge by the letter “D” followed by a serial number. 


We are indebted to a group of friends for valuable aid in the 
preparation of the List and Bibliography. In our previous paper we 
have mentioned the contribution of Frank W. Yocom and of Henry 
W. Fowler of the Academy of Sciences of Philadelphia. To these 
should be added, (1) Chancellor Emeritus David Starr Jordan, who 
generously gave us his helpful counsel and permission to use some 
data in manuscript form soon to be published by the U. S. Bureau of 
Fisheries—a Check List of the Fishes of North and Middle America; 
(2) Will F. Thompson in charge of the California Fisheries Labo- 
ratory at San Pedro, California, who aided materially in completing 
the list and bibliography as well as placing at our disposal the. efficient 
library of the fisheries laboratory. (3) Dr. Carl L. Hubbs, of the 
Museum of the University of Michigan, who has made an extensive 
study of Southern California fishes, kindly gave us the benefit of his 
intimate knowledge of this group. 

The authors believe that the best interests of the student will be 
served by an alphabetical arrangement of the list and by placing in 
footnotes certain data not yet readily available to other than the 
specialist.

IN MEMORIAM: SAMUEL JOHN KEESE 


Samuel John Keese, a citizen of Los Angeles for forty years and 
prominent in electrical engineering and scientific lines, died at the 
family residence, 1509 Shatto Street, Thursday night, January 19. 
Mr. Keese had a serious attack of the heart about two years ago, and 
since that time has been a semi invalid, although able to attend to 
his business most of the time. The immediate cause of his death 
was an attack of pneumonia, which brought complications with his 
organic weakness. 

Mr. Keese was of Quaker stock, born in Cardington, Ohio, Novem- 
ber 26, 1852. He was the son of Richard Keese and Gulielma Taber 
Keese. His early education was in the primary schools of his native 
city, and he later attended the Ohio Wesleyan College. He had a 
strong bent for scientific and technical work from boyhood, and one 
of his early achievements was to construct physical and electrical 
apparatus for the institution in which he was a student. Following 
his college training one of the commissions which he executed was to 
install the first telephone service in the West Indies. 

Mr. Keese came to California in 1887, first settling in Pasadena. 
There he married_Everetta Abbott in 1889. He came to this locality 
primarily in the interest of the General Electric Company, to investi- 
gate the electric railroad which had recently been constructed by 
Colonel Howland, and which was one of the first ventures of the 
kind. In fact, the invention was not sufficiently complete to insure 
the success of the enterprise, and the property was subsequently 
taken over by other parties, who rebuilt and reorganized it on more 
approved lines. Mr. Keese built and exhibited the first arc-light seen 
in Pasadena. He also installed the lighting plant for the Mount 
Lowe Railway. In 1900 he came to Los Angeles as a member of 
the firm of Rhodes & Keese, and for a number of years that was 
the only electrical supply house in the city. In the meanwhile Mr. 
Keese formed a connection with the Westinghouse Company and 
finally became their Los Angeles manager, a position which he 
held for some eighteen years. 

Mr. Keese identified himself with the Academy of Sciences at 
an early date, becoming a member of the directorate and Treasurer, 
which positions he held for more than twenty-five years. Within the 
past year he was elected President of the Academy. Through this 
long period he was one of the main-stays of the organization, and 
his long time associates will miss him sorely. 

Mr. Keese took an active part in many organizations, and held 
important offices at various times in most of them. He was a member 
of the American Institute of Electrical Engineers, an officer of the 
Commonwealth Home Builders, a Life Member of the Veteran Em- 
ployers Association, and a member of the City Club, The Los Angeles 
Athletic Club, and the Artland Club. 

Outside of his own profession, Mr. Keese was much interested 
in optics, and he constructed a device for employing polarized light 
in a stereopticon, by which he entertained his friends with wonderful 
demonstrations of the processes of crystallization. He was among 
the first to take up color photography, and in this he achieved fine 
results, delighting many audiences with his stereopticon exhibits. 

Altogether Mr. Keese was a charming character, a lovable asso- 
ciate and an ideal scientist. He leaves a son and three daughters: 
Richard A. Keese, Mrs. June Keese Hartley, Mrs. Harriet Keese 
Lamfair, and Miss Annette Keese.

EARLY HISTORY OF THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 
ACADEMY OF SCIENCES 


DR. A. DAVIDSON 


As the early minutes of the Academy are missing I think it may 
be of interest to give some details of its origin. 


On Nov. 6, 1891, a small band of scientific students met and formed 
“The Science Association” of Los Angeles. Of that number Major EH. 
W. Jones and I are, I think, the only surviving members. Some -years 
later the name was changed, as “Christian Science’ had entered the 
religious field and the notice of a science meeting led to confusion. 


The primary inception of the society followed on a visit of C. R. 
Orcutt a botanist from San Diego who desired to see science associ- 
ations established in all the towns of Southern California to be affiliated 
in one organization. This did not appeal to our members and our as- 
sociation was organized as an independent unit. 


Our association flourished from the beginning. Its purpose then, 
as now, was to furnish free lectures on scientific and natural history 
subjects. Sections were formed in geology, botany, and astronomy 
for special study by those specially interested. ; 


Our lectures were very well attended, proportionally better than 
they are at present when the population is so much more numerous. 


The advent of the movies has seriously affected attendance at the 
public lectures unless they are accompanied by lantern illustrations. 


In 1901 we began the publication of a monthly bulletin hoping to 
continue it as such. The expense of printing was more than we could 
assume so the monthly number was discontinued. Some years not 
more than 2 issues were published. Now we are able to support a 
quarterly issue. We may congratulate ourselves on even that modest 
accomplishment as we are the only scientific body in California that 
has been able to publish continuously for so many years. That we 
have been able to do so is due to the enthusiastic support of our mem- 
bers and especially to the late J. D. Hooker who was a generous con- 
tributor to our funds when an occasional deficit appeared. 


It has been the ambition of some of our members to have, some 
day, a home of its own to house its library and possibly maintain a 
museum. Personally I do not favor the latter as we have in The 
Southwest and Exposition Park ample accommodations and facility for 
study in all branches of science. Before the present museums were 


61 


established we conceived the idea of combining a museum building 
and public library in one building in the Central Park, now Pershing 
Square. Mr. Guinn of the historical society, Miss Kelso then librarian, 
and myself approached the town council on the subject. Mr. Sumner 
Hunt the architect presented a plan to cost $40,000 and the council 
agreed to put the matter to a vote at the next election. On the ballot 
there was joined to this an appropriation of $25,000 to buy the block 
south of the present West Lake Park, and extend the lake. 


The public looked on the latter as an attempt to load a mud hole 
on the city at an exorbitant price and defeated the bonds by a small 
margin. To the members of the Academy the city owes the museum 
in Exposition Park. When we from our funds and donated contribu- 
tions revealed the wealth of fossils in the Brea pits there was no pos- 
sibility of presenting them to view except by establishing a museum. 
By the efforts of Mr. Bowen who had generously devoted years of his 
time to prevent the exposition park from being appropriated by the old 
agricultural association; to Mr. Howard Robinson of the Audubon 
Society; Mr. Guinn of the Historical Society and the members of the 
Academy the supervisors were induced to consider the feasibility of 
establishing a museum. Fortunately for the public and all concerned 
we had an unusually intelligent body of supervisors who were heartily 
in accord with us. & 


The museum has been built but is already too small, so the archi- 
tectural association have evolved a plan whereby the existing unit can 
be gradually added to and all combined in a harmonious manner. 


But for the initiative action taken by the Academy of Sciences it 
is doubtful if any museum would have been built for many years to 
come. The Academy has done and is doing good work for southern 
California. The funds acquired by life memberships is devoted to the 
publication of the Bulletin. The members ought therefore to make a 
special effort to augment this fund as it is only through the printing 
press that we can fill our niche in the Scientific world. 


It is learned with regret that Samuel Bonsall Parish passed 
away in Berkeley, Cal., June 5, 1928. He was born in Patterson, N. J., 
January 13th, 1838. Mr. Parish contributed many noteworthy botani- 
cal papers to the ‘‘Bulletin.”

STUDIES IN PACIFIC COAST LEPIDOPTERA 


(Continued ) 
JOHN ADAMS COMSTOCK 


In the issue of September, 1927, Bulletin, So. Calif. Academy of 
Sciences, p. 67, was given a description of the egg of Callipsyche benhrii 
Edw. An illustration was also included on page 68. This year, in the 
same district of the Tejon Mountains, in which the eggs were collected, 
a large number of the larve of this species were secured by beating 
the Purshia bushes. This makes possible a description of both the 
larval and pupal stages. 


Larva, when mature, length, 12 mm. Greatest width 3.75 mm. 
Predominant color green, although a few examples show a rich brown. 


There is a narrow whitish mid-dorsal line, poorly defined on the 
anterior segments, and missing on the caudel segment, but clearly shown 
throughout the greater part of the body. Lateral to this line, on each 
of the typical segments, is a reniform dark green spot. External to 
this is a diagonal series of lines, composed of yellow, white and green 
elements. These give to each segment, when viewed dorsally, a sagittate 
appearance. Lateral to this series of diagonal lines occurs a clearly de-

e. d. and e.—Pupa of Callipsyche behrii, ventral, lateral and dorsal 
views, enlarged. 


63 


fined substimatal yellow line, bordered below by a dark green stripe. 
Inferior to this is a very narrow broken yellow line. 


Head, brownish to black. Abdomen and prolegs, green. True legs 
yellowish. 


The entire body is covered with minute short yellowish pile. The 
protruded segments and depressed intersegmental lines, together with 
the mottling of yellow and green, are an excellent protective pattern, 
causing the caterpillar to blend harmoniously with the foliage of its food 
plant, Purshia glandulosa. 


Larve were found in practically all stages of development, on May 
6th, and again on May 20th. Probably the species overwinters as an 


oo 
>>. 


Pupa. 


Length, average—8 to 9 mm. Greatest width, 3.75 to 4mm. Ground 
color light tan, on which blotches of dark brown are irregularly scat- 
tered. A few extremely short simple hairs are scattered over the head 
region and the dorsum, the remainder of the chrysalis being bare. A 
few examples show a ground color over the dorsum and wing covers 
that is of an olive shade. The accompanying cut gives the shape more 
accurately than would a lengthy description. 


1@): 


The egg of a southern race of Tharsalea arota was illustrated in 
our “Butterflies of California”. A large number of larve of the typical 
insect were secured this spring (May 6, 1928) on Ribes cereum. From 
these, the following descriptions were prepared: 


Tharsalea arota Bdv. Larva, when mature, 15 mm. Greatest width 
5mm. Slug-shaped as with most Lycenid larve. Ground color, green, 
a little darker at the head end. Some examples acquire a rosy blush 
shortly before pupation. Under magnification the dermis is seen to be 
sprinkled with minute white tubercles, and to be covered with short 
single yellowish-white vibrisse arising irregularly from the skin sur- 
face, not from the tubercles. These are so short as to be barely dis- 
cernible with the naked eye on the full grown larve. 


PLATE Ii.

PLATE IV. 
Pupa of Tharsalea arota. 
a, b, e—Ventral, dorsal and lateral views. d—Minute hair-like 
process occuring on chrysalis; much enlarged. 


A double whitish line occurs dorsally, from the second dorsal seg- 
ment almost to the anal extremity. This is broken at the first three 
segmental junctures, but is practically continuous from then on. A 
fine single yellowish iine also occurs laterally. 


Head, yellowish-green, except for a slight brownish tinge about 
the mouth parts. True ocelli black. Abdomen green. True legs green 
except for the tips, which are brown. Prolegs green. 


The same color and pattern occurs on a larva only 7 mm. long, 
probably in the second instar. 


Chrysalis. Length, 9.5 mm. Greatest width, 4.75. Ground color 
of newly formed chrysalis, olive green, changing to a brown or mottled 
yellowish-brown. On the dorsum there is a faint suggestion of a double 
broken transverse line of a dirty white, over which the brown blotch- 
ings are absent. In the mid dorsal area, between these lines there is a 
slight intensification of the brownish mottling. There is also a sug- 
gestion of a light sub-stigmatal line on the sides of the abdomen. 


Under low magnification the surface of the chrysalis appears to be 
finely pitted with translucent white points, but higher magnification 
shows these to be minute hair-like processes with flaring trumpet-shaped 
termini, aS Shown in the illustration. These are not present on the 
wing covers, or along the abdominal surface. They are particularly 
numerous anteriorly and on the dorsum of the abdominal segments. 


As the chrysalis nears maturity the dark blotchings become heavier 
and darker. There is, however, great variation in the color, some ex- 
amples being very light, others almost black. 


A delicate silken loop is formed by the caterpillar, for suspension 
over the thorax. A few examples fail to show this, pupation with these 
occuring in the debris at the bottom of the breeding cage,

Plebejus melissa Edw. is one of the widely distributed blues of 
western North America, occurring from Kansas to the Pacific Coast. In 
spite of this extensive range and comparative abundance, almost noth- 
ing is known of the early stages. In the mountains of southern Cali- 
fornia, melissa is well represented by the race lotis Lint. An example 
of this race was observed in the act of ovipositing, and a few specimens 
of the eggs secured for purposes of illustration. The single female 
under observation laid most of her eggs on small pebbles close to the 
base of a lupine, or on small leaves of the main stem near its juncture 
with the ground. 

Egg. Color, light green; shape, echinoid, the top flattened, micro- 
pyle depressed, the area around it slightly raised. The surface is cov- 
ered with a reticulation of raised ridges which help to form depressed 
pits disposed in irregular pattern over all exposed surfaces. Where 
the ridges meet there are protruding points. The floor of each pit is 
finely perforated. Those pits which occur within the mocropyle are 
very minute, while those around the micropyle, though slightly larger, 
are of lesser size than on other surface areas. These pits grow pro- 
gressively larger as the outer surface is reached.

ge. Light green, exactly harmonizing with the foliage. Measures 
about 4% by % mm. Micropyle not depressed; finely pitted. Upper 
half of egg covered with raised longitudinal ridges, about twenty in 
number. Lower half finely pitted. 

The female approached the foodplant (Aster tortifolius) by drop- 
ping to the ground near it, and then crawling into the bush. The eggs 
were deposited in a mass, on the under surface of a small leaf, low 
down in the bush. There were 97 eggs in the cluster, deposited irregu- 
larly, and close together, the centre of the mass being three deep. Ap- 
proximately half an hour was consumed in the act of laying. Eggs 
laid March 26th; emerged April 5. 

The larve, when newly hatched are covered with long dark single 
hairs, sparsely scattered over the surface. Head, blue-black. True 
legs, sooty black. Body, yellowish white—also prolegs.

EXPERIMENTS ON A SPECIES OF MIGRATING 
BUTTERFLY 
By WILHELM SCHRADER 
Los Angeles, California 


A number of butterfly species have the habit of migration, per- 
haps the most noted of which is Pyrameis cardui, commonly known 
as the Painted Lady. This designation is particularly fitting on ac- 
count of the gay coloration and intricate pattern of this interesting 
butterfly. It is a widely distributed insect occurring in most portions 
of the globe. Much has been written concerning its habits and life 
history. There are, however, several points still to be determined, 
some of which concern the origin of the migratory swarms that have 
been recorded. For this reason the author has undertaken a compre- 
hensive study of the species. 


It is obvious -that in order to produce the great aggregations of 
butterflies, such as have been noted, the species must be very prolific. 
To determine this fact I secured in the spring of 1927 a number of 
small caterpillars for experimental breeding. To accelerate their 
growth these were placed in the incubator. The resulting butterflies 
were allowed to copulate in captivity. It was found that the species 
is much longer lived, than the average butterfly and also that it has 
the peculiar habit of copulating late in the day rather than in the 
warm mid-day hours. This condition accounts for the fact that Pyra- 
meis cardui is observed in flight after five o’clock P. M., while other 
species have settled for rest before that time. The first pair from 
the above hatching were observed in copulation May 11. These were 
put in a separate wire cage with small plants of a, species of Malva. 
The young larvae became so numerous that the food plant had to be 
renewed three times. On the 19th day of May the same pair were 
again observed in copulation which is an unusual occurrence. The 
male lived until the 27th and the female was killed on the 31st, after 
she had ceased laying, and owing to her damaged condition. From 
this single female there resulted by actual count 685 caterpillars. 
In a state of nature it is not unlikely that even a greater number 
would have been produced. Thus we note not only the increased life 
span of this species but also the great number of progeny. 


The preferred food plant of this butterfly, notably, Malva, is plen- 
tiful in this state in the early spring, but dries out during the sum- 
mer. If the season happens to be favorable the spring brood of 
Pyrameis would occur in great numbers and the resulting larvae 
would soon exhaust the food plant. The following generation would 
find insufficient foliage on which to oviposit and would not be able 
to reproduce unless it migrated to a district of greater rainfall or 
later season. This may perhaps account for the northerly drift of 
great swarms of these butterflies in the spring of certain years. The 
scarcity of Malva and related plants through the summer and fall 
probably serves as a check on the reproduction of subsequent broods, 
hence we do not find migration occurring in the fall. 


There seems to be a provision in nature for maintaining a balance 
between species. If a given insect occurs in abnormal numbers it is 
soon followed by the increase of its parasites. The butterfly under 
consideration has a considerable number of enemies in the form 
of parasitic wasps and flies. 


68 


The metamorphosis of Pyrameis cardui has been described by 
several authors, but a brief summary would not be out of place. The 
eggs are green in color, simulating the shade of immature leaves of 
Malva. They are deposited singly. The newly hatched larva first 
consumes the egg shell and then for a while feeds upon the upper 
surface of the leaf. Shortly it constructs a web over itself drawing 
the edges of the cup-shaped leaf together and thus creating a pro- 
tective covering. In spite of this protection a number of minute 
parasites may gain access. One of the latter is shown in our figure 1 
of plate VI. These parasites deposit their eggs on the dermis of the 
caterpillar and the larval parasite burrows in and feeds upon the 
tissues of its host. Cardui larvae that are parasitized by the insect 
previously referred to usually succumb when about one-third grown. 
The parasitic larva cuts its way out through the skin of its host and 
forms an oblong silk cocoon as shown in figure 2, plate VI. The adult 
parasite emerges in a few days and is ready to repeat its life cycle. 


As the larva of P. cardui grows it consumes the walls of its en- 
closure and is then compelled to move. During this period of its 
exposure and before it has constructed a new abode it is subject to 
the attack of the small fly shown in figure 3, of plate VI. The cater- 
pillar thus attacked may mature and form a chrysalis before the 
parasites emerge. Eventually, from 12 to 18 parasitic larvae emerge, 
and form separate brownish cocoons, as shown in figure 3, of plate VI. 


The caterpillars of P. cardui are exceedingly variable in color, rang- 
ing from a silvery gray to nearly a solid black, the shade and in- 
tensity of color being influenced by the amount of sunlight they have 
received. 


The chrysalis is protectively colored in gray and gold, and be- 
cause of its inconspicuous pattern is not often observed. 


When disturbed it frequently sets up a wagging motion, vigor- 
ously jerking itself from side to side, in a manner calculated to dis- 
courage the attack of smaller enemies. The chrysalis is attached 
at the extreme tip of the abdomen, and is suspended by a number of 
minute hooks fastened into a tuft of silk. 


Practically all insect larvae are subject to parasitic attack. Figure 
4 of our plate shows the caterpillar of a small moth with a portion of 
the 324 minute flies which emerged from it. Figure 5 of the same 
plate illustrates 20 parasitic wasps with their pupal cases, which re- 
sulted from another parasitized caterpillar. The last two figures are 
examples of that remarkable phenomenon of polyembryony (i.e. many 
individuals from a single egg) as noted by Prof. W. S. Showalter. 


Pyrameis cardui can stand a wide range of temperature. IJ have 
subjected chrysalids to a continuous dry air environment at 116 de- 
grees Fahrenheit and had them emerge in the remarkably short time 
of three days and twelve hours. The lightly colored example shown in 
figure 6 resulted from such an experiment. 


In contrast to the above, figure 7, a dark example, was subjected 
to moist air at 40 degrees F. for four weeks, at the end of which, it 
emerged without the temperature having been raised above that point. 


When we observe the marked change in color and intensity of 
markings in a single generation, resulting from different temperatures, 
it is more easily understood that a given species, subjected to a cold 
climate for countless generations has a fixed color pattern differing 
from that of the same species residing in a location of high tempera- 
tures. Seasonal color changes are also explainable for the same 
reason,—since the marked contrasts between the spring and fall, or 
the wet and dry seasons in certain regions, would subject the sea- 
sonal broods of caterpillars to vastly different thermal influences. 


69 


Figures 8, 9, and 10 of our plate illustrate some of the interesting 
aberrations of P. cardui which are occasionally observed during a 
short period of the summer season. There has been much specula- 
tion as to the causes of these peculiar color and pattern changes. The 
author is carrying on a series of experiments in an effort to answer 
these questions, the results of which will be published in a subse- 
quent issue of this Bulletin.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA GEOLOGY and LOS ANGELES 
EARTHQUAKES. 


by the eminent geologist 
R. T. HILL 
The expense connected with the publication of this work precludes 
its being included in the exchange list, for distribution to institutions 
that are exchanging publications with the Academy. 


This work will be of special interest to the student of Geology and 
Seismology. In it are given an explanation of the natural causes of our 
beautiful scenery and charming climate. Southern California is a 
great out door geologic museum. The layman is offered a key that 
will add enormously to his enjoyment of this unique playground: the 
student of geology or physical geography will find this an indispen- 
sable guide.

Los Angeles, California. 


PROCEEDINGS OF THE 
SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA ACADEMY OF SCIENCES 


Regular meeting was held in the Auditorium of Los Angeles Public 
Library, December 6th, 1927 at 8 P. M. The lecture of the evening was 
given by Colonel J. R. White, Superintendent of General Grant and 
Sequoia National Parks whose subject was “Sequoia Park and the Big 
Trees.” The talk was illustrated by beautifully colored lantern slides, 
and all who attended, were filled with desire to visit our California 
giant groves. 


Regular meeting was held in the Auditorium of the Los Angeles 
Public Library January 3rd, 1928 at 8 P. M. Alfred Cookman, M. S., 
President of the Nature Club, and instructor in biology in the Poly- 
technic High School, gave an address on “Two Creatures Feared and 
Hated by Man.” The reference being to spiders and snakes. The 
speaker illustrated his instructive talk with lantern slides and speci- 
mens from his collection, both living and preserved. Much time was 
given to the most deadly of insects the “Black Widow” and valuable 
advice given to those who might be so unfortunate as to be victims of 
its bite. Interesting statistics were given as to the relative toxicity 
of the venom of these animal groups. To offset this unsavory power 
of these creatures the lecturer spent time in speaking of the beauty of 
workmanship and architectural ability of the Arachnide# and the many 
good points of the reptiles, often lost sight of by Man in his instinctive 
fear of the whole group. 


Regular meeting was held Feb. 17th at 8 P. M. in the Public Library, 
“The National Parks and Policies Governing their Protection,’ was 
the subject of the evening, and was illustrated by lantern slides and 
reels of film depicting the natural beauties of our parks. We had three 
speakers, Hon. Stephen T. Mather, Director of the National Park Ser- 
vice, Horace M. Albright, Supt. of the Yellowstone, and Cl. J. R. White, 
Supt. of Sequoia. Time was devoted to showing the care taken by our 
government in preserving these natural wonderlands, and in answer 
to criticisms by those not fully informed. 


Regular meeting was held in the Artland Club Auditorium on Feb. 
20th. A Danish musical program was followed by a lecture on “The 
Dutch East Indies,” by Baron Thoe Swartzenberg who illustrated the 
life of his people in this distant colony by beautifully colored slides. 
The result of the talk was the realization of the masterful colonizing 
ability of the Hollanders, and a desire to know better the interesting 
natives of those islands. 


Regular meeting held in Auditorium of Public Library on March 
6th. The subject of the evening was “The Antiquity of Man,” by Dr. 
John A. Comstock, who traced the evidence of Man from the earliest 
discovery of a primitive brute to the coming of those prehistoric artists 
who painted and carved the walls of the caves of Southern France. 
The talk was illustrated by lantern slides, instructive charts and dia- 
grams, and flint implements of early European Man from the collection 
of Dr. R. H. Swift, showing clearly Man’s rise to the dominant figure 
we find him at the dawn of history. 


Regular meeting of Academy held in Auditorium of Public Library 
April 3rd. “The Lily, Iris and Orchid of California” was the subject of 
the address of the evening by F. M. Fultz, illustrated by beautiful lan- 
tern slides of these flowers from his new book on the subject. 


al 


Regular meeting in the Auditorium of the Polytechnic High School 
was held April 10th. An illustrated lecture by Mary Proctor, noted 
English Astronomer and daughter of the late Richard A, Proctor, was 
given on “The Romance of the Sun and Moon,” a wonderfully told 
story of Man’s progress in his knowledge of the Universe in which he 
lives. 


On April 13th the first monthly meeting of the newly formed 
Archeological Section of the Academy was held in the County Museum, 
An illustrated lecture on “The Ruins of the Mesa Verde,” by Dr. J. A. 
Comstock was followed by a discussion on recent finds placing the 
Antiquity of Man in America by the members of the section present. 
Invitation to join this new section, and take active part in its work 
was extended to all members. 


May 1, 1928. A lecture was held in the L. A. Public Library, the 
subject being “The Islands of the Santa Barbara Channel’, presented 
by Mr. Norman Stewart of the Santa Barbara Museum of Natural His- 
tory. The speaker touched on the history, archeology and geological 
formation of these comparatively little Known islands of our southern 
coast. His presentation gave strong influence to the plea for the acquir- 
ing and preservation of Santa Cruz Island, under the administration of 
the State Parks Commission. 

Cea ER MES 


On May 11th, the second meeting of the Archeological Section of the 
Academy was held at the Los Angeles Museum. The Section showed a 
very gratifying growth in greatly increased attendance. The program 
was given by Mr. C. Warren Temple, and was illustrated with slides 
prepared from the speaker’s photographs. The subject, “Araba Petra” 
was presented in a graphic and entertaining manner, and gave a vivid 
impression of the rock-hewn temples and marvelous preservations of 
this closely guarded Greco-Roman citadel. Mr. Temple made three 
trips to the mountain encircled valley of Petra, where few travelers have 
been able to penetrate. His photographic successes while there were 
made possible largely through his knowledge of the Bedouin language, 
customs and religious prejudices, and his personal friendship with 
certain chiefs. 


May 17th, 8:00 P.M., in the Lecture Hall of the Artland Club. 
The Astronomical Section sponsored a lecture by Mr. Harry K. Sargent, 
on “Stars and Planets”. This was a popularization of the subject of 
the planetary relations of our solar system, illustrated with lantern 
slides. 

DR. R. H. SWIFT, Secretary.

RECORDS OF THE 
LORQUIN ENTOMOLOGICAL SOCIETY 


The informal discussions held monthly by the Lorquin Entomologi- 
cal Society have brought to our attention many interesting observa- 
tions concerning the species of Lepidoptera peculiar to the arid regions 
of California. Desert collecting this spring has been unusually pro- 
ductive, but the light, early rains have caused the butterflies to emerge 
from one month to six weeks sooner than is usual. Plebejus emig- 
dionis, for example, was recorded as early as April 2, by Dr. J. A. 
Comstock, while previous experience has shown the latter part of 
May to be the normal season for this small blue, which flies on the 
banks of the Mojave River, near Victorville. 


An exceptional catch of two rare species, Anthocharis cethura and 
Euchloe creusa race lotta was recorded by Mr. F. W. Friday for March 
15, near Little Rock, on the north side of the Sierra Madre Mountains. 
Mr. Friday captured 100 of the former, and 200 of the latter species 
in a few hours. 


Mr. Charles Ingham, returned from Arizona, exhibited specimens 
of Anthocharis pima taken on Tucson Hill about March 15, where 
they flew in abundance in company with a few Papilio bairdii. 


Dr. Comstock announces the determination of Drudeophytum 
parishii as the larvel food plant of Papilio pergamus by the capture 
of a female in the act of oviposition. The plant grows sporadically on 
the slopes of Sheep Canyon, near Wrightwood, where Dr. Comstock 
also netted seven of the large yucca-boring skipper, Megathymus 
NAVAjO. 


At the April meeting, Dr. Lyman J. Muchmore of the Los Angeles 
Museum lectured on “Beetles and How to Know Them,” illustrating 
his lecture with specimens of the lead-boring beetle, the burying beetle, 
several lady-bird beetles, and many brilliantly-colored exotic Coleoptera.

Through the courtesy of Commander C, M, Dammers, of 
Riverside, we have received examples of the egg, larva, and pupa 
of the Southern Metal-mark, Calephelis australis, which enables 
us to describe and illustrate the early stages of this exquisite little 
insect. 


EGG: echinoid, about .6 mm. in diameter; a little more than 
half as tall as it is broad. Color of the main body of egg, a reddish 
wine, of the reticulations, glistening white. 

Micropyle: depressed, finely reticulated, and surrounded by a 
circular raised white ring, which is minutely pitted over its sur- 
face. From this ring radiate 18 to 20 raised partitions or ridges,

which connect with the walls of a series of hexagonal cells. At 
the point of juncture of these walls or partitions are raised white 
points. The remainder of the surface is covered in quite regular 
manner by rows of hexagonal cells, beautifully sculptured, their 
floors showing the beautiful lustrous wine color, and the walls 
crystalline white, with raised papille at the points of juncture, 
Seem mare OC Kioures avand |b) 


LARVA: last instar; ground color, greyish-white, the dermis 
profusely studded with raised white nodules, which under high 
magnification are seen to be many-pointed branching stars of a 
crystalline white. There is a greyish mid-dorsal line, poorly de- 
fined, on each side of which occurs a line of nodules, bearing long 
filamentous white hairs. On the first few segments these nodules 
are single on each side, but from the fourth segment back they 
are doubled, making four to the segment. The posterior pair in 
each group are black and relatively more prominent. There is 
also a substigmatal row of these hair-bearing tubercles. The stig- 
mata are yellow, and above each one 1s a lighter, irregularly squared 
area, margined superiorly with black. 


Head; yellow, with brownish black blotchings, and short 
stubby hair. Ocelli; shaded at their bases with brown; mouth 
parts of the same color. Abdomen and legs, yellow. See Plate X. 


PLATE X 
Mature larva of Calephelis australis Edw. enlarged. 


This caterpillar is so protusely supplied with long white hair 
that it is difficult to observe its various parts. Particularly is this 
true of the head, which is hidden under a long fringe. 

PUPA. Length, 9.5mm. Greatest width 4mm. Color, pre- 
dominantly a light grey-green, somewhat translucent, the posterior 
segments tinged with light brown. 


Thorax not strongly protruded, bearing a few short bristles. 
A faint mid-dorsal line, more strongly defined posteriorly. A few 
short bristles are scattered irregularly over the abdominal seg- 
ments. There is a series of rather poorly defined tubercles bearing 
tufts of short bristles, placed sub-stigmatally. 


The wing covers are bare, with a series of elongate triangular 
spots near their margins. A few small spots and shadings are dis- 
posed on the surface of the pupa, as shown in the accompanying 


81 


illustration, Plate XI, Figures a, b, c. No suspending girdle or 
button has been observed, the larva pupating on the ground. 


The larva and pupa were described from a single example, 
hence it is impossible to record the range of variation in color 
and pattern. Commander Dammers states that in ovipositing, the 
female flies into the bush, and crawls down to the point of juncture 
of two lower limbs of the foodplant, Bebbea juncea, where the egg 
is deposited in the crotch. The larva feeds upon the greenish cov- 
ering of the stems.

EARLY STAGES OF PAPILIO PERGAMUS 


This season has been a particularly favorable one for the 
observation and collecting of that rare butterfly of the southern 
Sierras, Papilio pergamus. In the early spring we reported the 
foodplant, in one of the meetings of the Lorquin Club, and this 
was followed by a number of our members collecting eggs and 
larvae. 


Through the generosity of Mr. Hal Newcomb and Mr. F. C. 
Morand in donating ova, and of Mr. John Garth of Long Beach 
in presenting us with larvae, we are enabled to record the early 
stages, and prepare drawings illustrative thereof. 


EGG. Spherical, pearly yellow, with irregular blotchings of 
brown: probably a clear yellow when first laid. The color changes 
to a bluish or purplish shade just prior to emergence. See Figure 
b of Plate XII.

PLATE XII 


Egg and larva of Papilio pergamus 


a.—Head, greatly magnified. b—EHgg, greatly magnified. ¢—Larva, 
first instar, greatly magnified. d.—Mature larva, enlarged. 


LARVA. First Instar: body dull black, covered with numer- 
ous jet black branching spines. -Head, glistening black, covered 
with short simple vibrissae. The first thoracic segment bears 
three branching spines on each side, the two largest pointing some- 
what anteriorly. There are two white points close to the juncture 
with the head in the mid-dorsal line, and eight or ten similar points 
close to the posterior border of the segment, the remaining portions 
being black. 


The second dorsal segment has a few white points (6 or 8) 
close to its posterior border. This segment bears six large branch- 
ing spines, and two rudimentary spines near the middorsal area. 
The third segment is solidly black except for two minute points 
on the anterior border, frequently hidden by the segmental fold. 


83 


It bears the same number of spines as the second segment. The 
fourth segment is similar to the third except for being entirely 
black. 

The segment which bears the first pair of prolegs has eight 
small white spots, the largest being at the base of the proleg. The 
next posterior segment bears a broad irregular white band over 
its upper half, and a small white point on each side, lateral to the 
white saddle-like mark. The rudimentary spines of the mid- 
dorsal area are absent on this segment. The remaining segments 
are more or less typical, except for the few white points close to 
the anal area, as shown in our illustration. 

A tuft of black hair occurs at the posterior end of the anal 
segment. 

Abdomen, dull black. Prolegs, dull black, covered with minute 
hair. True legs, shiny black. See illustration, Figure c of Plate 
XII. Immature larva, second or third instar: Head, shiny black, 
covered with minute vibrissae. First thoracic segment, ground color 
dull black. There are 10 spines, 5 on each side of the mid-dorsal 
line. These are small, but otherwise of the usual branching char- 
acter. The second from mid-dorsal line are the largest of the 
series. Anterior to these spines are 4 yellow spots, and posterior 
thereto are 8 or 10 similar in color and character. 


The next dorsal segment has the same arrangement of spines, 
but with 8 yellow spots posterior to the spines only. 


The next two segments are entirely black, the spines similar 
in number and character, except that the small spines next to the 
mid-dorsal region tend toward suppression, and one spine on each 
side laterally is lost. 


The next segment, on which are the first pair of prolegs, is 
jet black, except for 8 small quadrate white spots on its posterior 
margin, and a large white spot on each side just above the base 
of the proleg. 


The next segment is largely covered with white on its dorsal 
aspect, giving place to black on the. latero-inferior area. On this 
segment the two small tubercles next to the mid-dorsal line have 
been entirely suppressed. Minute black hairs are noted protrud- 
ing from the white surfaces, which are similar to those covering 
the entire body of the caterpillar, but are here shown in greater 
contrast. 


The next two segments are entirely black, the spines being 
similar to those on other typical segments. Posterior to these, 
the next segment 1s black except for one small white spot, postero- 
laterally placed. 


The next caudal segment has three large white spots on each 
side, on the black ground color. 


The anal segment has one large white spot at the anterior 
base of the largest spine on each side, and a small pair of similar 
spots immediately above the anal orifice on each side. 


84 


Abdominal region, black, but of a less intense shade. 
True legs, jet black. 


Mature larva, last instar: ground color grey, of a soft vel- 
vety texture, each segment striped and blotched with black and with 
numerous yellow points. 


Head: ground color yellow, mouth parts greenish yellow. 
The face is marked anteriorly by an upright triangle of shiny black, 
slightly open at the superior juncture. The ocelli are black or 
yellow, and rest on a shiny black oval. There is an elongate 
black area along the lateral edge of the face at its point of juncture 
with the first body segment. 


The first dorsal segment is edged anteriorly with yellow, 
and has a broad band of velvety black stretched across it. The 
second segment is grey, with a saddle of black across it, and two 
yellow points at the side where the saddle ends. The next seg- 
ment is similar except for a large blotch of black just above and 
in front of the base of the leg. There 1s a yellow sopt on a grey 
field, laterally placed on this segment. The next two segments 
are grey with an orange spot each side of the mid-dorsal line, 
back of which, (and partly surrounding the orange) is a saddle- 
like black spot. Laterally there is a spot of yellow on each side, 
just below the stigma, surrounded by an irregular black area. 
Similar markings with slight variations, occur on all other seg- 
ments. 


The true legs are yellow, with black on their upper surfaces 
and the false legs (prolegs) are a yellow-grey ground color, with 
large black spots on the sides. The abdominal surface is of a 
greenish grey shade. See Figures a and d of Plate XII. 


PUPA. Length, 1% inches for the average individual. The 
color is variable, ranging from a mottled brownish black to a

light sandy grey. In shape it 1s somewhat less robust than in 
selicaon, with the anterior points less protruded. The form is 
accurately depicted in Plate XIII.

Both figures greatly magnified. 


Earty STAGES oF NATHALIS IoLE Bpv. 


EGG. Color, orange yellow. Length approximately 1 mm., 
width .33 mm. 


Shape, elongate, tapering at both ends, somewhat as in 
Eurema. The neck slightly constricted, the surface smooth, with 
barely perceptible colorless striations running longitudinally. There 
are approximately 30 of these fine lines running through the 
central robust portion of the egg, but these are reduced by fusion 
with adjacent lines as the constricted ends are approached. 


Described and drawn from a single example sent to me by 
Com. Dammers. See Plate XIV, Figure a. 


LARVA, newly emerged. 


Length 1.25 mm. Color olivaceous, the head jet black, and 
bearing a few short vibrissae of same shade. There is a slight 
suggestion of a mid-dorsal line, lateral to which is a row of single 
black hairs, arising from dark papillae. A second and third row 
occurs lateral to the first as shown on our figure. See Plate XIV, 
Figure b. There is also a sub-stigmatal row, placed too far 
ventrally to show in our drawing. 


Larval foodplant, Bidens pilosa. 


MATURE LARVA. Two examples were submitted to us 
by Com. Dammers, which are widely dissimilar and show a con- 
siderable range of variation in the species. One of these is a solid 
dark green, entirely lacking the mid-dorsal stripe, and with only a 
faint suggestion of a stigmatal creamy line. The two cervical 
tubercles protruding anteriorly are faintly tipped with pinkish red. 
The second example is more characteristically colored, as follows: 


Ground color, dark green. The dermis appears smooth under 
low magnification, but under higher power is seen to be granular 
in appearance. Each typical segment is divided into approxi- 
mately five secondary folds, along the center of which are a number 
of single short colorless hairs (though an occasional example is 
dark), arising from greenish tubercles. At the base of each 
tubercle the dermis is of a slightly darker shade, surrounded by 
an irregular lightish green area. The median band is chocolate 
brown, and is free of tubercles and hairs. The stigmatal line is 
a well-defined creamy yellow, edged above with chocolate brown. 
There are two cervical tubercles pointing anteriorly, rose-pink in 
color, with a number of protruding hairs. The true legs are green, 
slightly shaded with brown at their tips. Prolegs, green. Head 
green, covered with short colorless pile. Ocelli, brown at the base, 
greenish at apices. Mouth-parts green, shaded at the tips of the 
protuberances. Length, 15 mm. See Plate XV, Figures a and b. 


The color pattern of this larva is an excellent adaptation to 
the food plant—Bidens pilosa which is the same shade of green, 
and bears chocolate-brown stripes along the stems.

EGG aNnD IMMATURE LARVA OF ARGYNNIS APACHEANA SKINNER 


Mr. John Garth, of Long Beach, observed a female of Argyn- 
nis apacheana in the act of ovipositing, and secured a single 
ovum, which has been placed at our disposal. 

The egg was laid on a sprig of dried grass, in the vicinity 
of violets, the observation being made in Round Valley, Inyo 
County, California. For figure see Plate XVII. 

EGG: Sub-conical, approximately 1 mm. high by 1 mm. 
broad at the base. Color, at first, cream, speckled with brown, 
changing to a dirty white with purplish mottlings. In the single 
example before us there are nineteen longitudinal ridges, between 
which are depressed troughs with numerous fine cross striations. 

LARVA, newly emerged. Length 1.75 mm. Ground color 
of body, olivaceous. Head, brownish-black over crest, shading 
to olivaceous around the mouth. Ocelli black. A number of 
long vibrissae protrude from the surface of head, which are of 
an olive shade. 

On each typical segment there are six single tubercules ar- 
ranged in rows, three on each side of the median line, and below 
each stigma occurs a double tubercle. These tubercles are black- 
ish and glistening and each one bears a single olivaceous long 
hair. The first cervical segment differs from the typical in having 
the four dorsal tubercles united to form a single plate. 

The anal segment also bears a similar plate. 

Legs, prolegs and abdomen, olivaceous.

THE BEAK OF PARAPAVO CALIFORNICUS (MILEER) 


HiLpEGARDE Howarp, Los Angeles Museum 


In 1927 the writer presented a review of Parapavo californicus 
(Miller), the California “Peacock”’.* This review comprised a 
detailed study of the main skeletal elements of Parapavo, with 
the exception of the mandible and beak. Comparisons were made 
with the existing turkeys, MJeleagris gallopavo and Agriocharis 
ecellatus, and with the peacock, Pavo cristatus. It was concluded 
that Parapavo occupied a position in the family Meleagridae some- 
what intermediate with regard to Meleagris and “Agriochari IS, 
though tending toward greater similarity with Agriocharis. 


A description of the mandible was omitted at the previous writ- 
ing due to the scarcity of specimens of this element and to the 
fragmentary nature ot those which were available. The beak of 
Parapavo was not known at that time. No additional specimens 
ot mandible are at hand, but fourteen, heretofore unidentified 
beaks, included in the collections of the Los Angeles Museum, 
have now been identified as Parapavo. These specimens are of 
a large gallinaceous bird, ‘but were not recognized as such at first, 
because of their relatively great breadth; they are decidedly broad- 
er and flatter than the modern Meleagris gallopavo. Comparison 
with Agriocharis, however, shows the beaks to be unmistakably 
meleagrine, with Agriocharis intermediate in relative breadth be- 
tween Parapavo and Meleagris. 


The following table of measurements includes only five 
specimens of Parapavo. The other nine are on exhibit in the Los 
Angeles Museum and are not available for measurement.

In its closer resemblance to. Agriocharis than to Meleagris, 
the beak of Parapavo agrees with the cranial portion of the skull. 
The conclusions previously set forth, regarding the relationships 
of Parapavo, are therefore substantiated by a study of the charac- 
ters of this bone. 


Pinus Edulis ENGELM. OCCURS IN CALIFORNIA. 


During the latter part of March of the present year I jour- 
neyed into eastern San ‘Bernardino County and spent a number of 
days in the New York Mountains. This is a rather picturesque 
range of granite and metamorphosed lavas lying close to the Colo- 
rado River. It rises to an elevation of 7500 feet and the higher 
portions of the range have a sufficient rainfall to encourage a 
growth of scrub oaks, pinons and junipers. 


While descending the main peak my eye fell upon a two-needle 
pion tree standing among one-needle specimens of Pinus mono- 
phylla. Further search revealed many of the trees, a goodly num- 
ber of which bore fresh cones of the previous season. Inasmuch 
as the range of Pinus edulis extends to nearby areas along the 
Colorado River in the vicinity of the Grand Canon it occurred to 
me that this tree might also occur within the limits of our state. 
The question was also raised that it might be merely a two-needle 
form of Pinus monophyila. Accordingly specimens of the branches 
and cones were collected and brought home for further study. 
Sections of the needles reveal that the number and arrangement of 
the resin ducts is that given as indicators of Pinus edulis Engelm 
(See Tidestrom, Flora of Utah and Nevada, p. 53). The cones are 
uniformly smaller than those of Pinus monophylla as are also the 
nuts. The local residents when questioned said that they had noticed 
that there were two sizes of nuts and that the smaller nuts always 
occurred on the trees bearing needles in bunches of two. Every 
character studied thus indicates that the tree is truly Pinus edulis 
and that we have a new tree to record for the state. Specimens 
have been deposited at the Pomona College Herbarium.

PROCEEDINGS OF THE SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA 
ACADEMY OF SCLENCES 


May 15, 1928. 


Regular meeting of the Academy was held in the Library 
Tuesday, June 5,at 8 P. M. The address of the evening was, “Old 
China of Yesterday.” An intimate illustrated story of the life and 
art of old Cathay, by Dr. Edward T. Thwing, who has spent 
thirty years in the Orient. For some years the speaker was Educa- 
tional Advisor to the Chinese Republic. Account was given of the 
contrasts of the Oriental Mind with the Western viewpoint. The 
development of Chinese writing and literature was shown in its 
relation to the mind of the people. 


The annual meeting and banquet was held in the City Club, 
Monday, June 11. Reports were read by the president, secretary, 
treasurer and editor of the Bulletin. The president spoke of the 
history of the Academy, many of the early members being present. 
The secretary made a plea for increased membership, and for 
active participation in Academy affairs by the members. The treas- 
urer assured the Academy of its financial stability and bright 
outlook. 


B. R. Baumgardt, F. R. A. S., and past president, gave the 
address of the evening on, “The Millikan Cosmic Rays and Their 
Bearing on Our New Conception of the Universe.’ The develop- 
ment from the ancient Greek concept to our present understanding 
was attractively presented. The history of Dr. Miullikan’s dis- 
covery, the remarkable properties of the ray, such as penetrating 
nineteen feet of lead due to its minute wave length, and its probable 
origin in the “birth of matter,’ were handled in the speaker’s usual 
masterful way. Those fortunate enough to be present agreed that 
it was a superb popular presentation of this difficult subject. 


The season was started by an address on, ““The Worlds Around 
Us.” by Harry K. Sargent in a beautifully illustrated talk on man’s 
recent advances in the study of the universe. It was a novel pre- 
sentation in Mr. Sargent’s usual good style. Some time was given 
to locating our sun in the stellar universe, to the enormity of some 
stars, and to the finds of other groups outside of the cluster of 
which our sun is but an insignificant member. This lecture was 
given September 18 in the Library. 


The Archeological Section held its first monthly meeting of 
the season in the County Museum. Arthur Woodward, formerly 
with the Museum of the American Indian, spoke on “Wampum, 
and Early Trade with the Indians.”’ It proved to be a very instruc- 
tive talk on a very important phase of early contact with the Red 
Man. He pointed out from original sources, that while beads were 
used as barter among the early Indian peoples, that the great trade 
in Wampum was fostered by the Dutch, who placed it upon a com- 
mercial basis, so that it became used even by the whites of the 


92 


colonies up to quite modern time. Numerous examples were 
shown from the speaker’s collection. The usual informal after-tallk 
meeting proved most interesting as many phases of Indian craft 
and history were discussed by the speaker. 


Regular meeting of the Academy was held at the Library on 
Tuesday, October 16. George W. Parsons, our president, spoke 
on “Arctic Alaska in the Gold Days.” The talk was illustrated 
by slides made in the far North, about Nome, in those stirring days 
at the start of this century. The numerous personal touches caused 
to live again the trials and tribulations of men gone mad in the 
lust for gold, many wholly unprepared to stand the hardships of 
this land of the “Midnight Sun.” Incidents of the dishonesty of 
officials, foiled by the law-abiding citizens, formed a rather amus- 
ing portion of the lecture. 


Dr. R. H. Swirt, Secretary. 


RawORA OF rk LOROUIN ENTOMOLOGICAL 
SOCHUEIML Ol OS ANGLES 


The meeting of September 28, 1928, was of particular interest 
because of the many productive summer trips of Lorquin mem- 
bers. Enterprising entomologists have collected in the Sierra 
Nevada Range north to Mt. Shasta, in the Colorado Rockies, and 
in the mountainous regions of Arizona and Nevada. 


Mr. F. W. Friday and Mr. Charles Hill, returning from a 
three weeks’ stay at Gold Lake, declared the predominant species 
of that section to be Melitaea hoffmani and palla, Euphydryas 
sierra, and several species of the complex genus Argynnis. 


Mr. George Malcolm exhibited a remarkable series of Pseudo- 
hazis eglanterina and the dark form, shastensis, all collected in 
Northern California in the vicinity of Mt. Shasta. In June Mr. 
Malcolm took specimens of Melitaea acastus and Euphydryas 
olancha at Casa Diablo Lake, Mono County. 


Mr. Morand, who visited Charleston Peak, near Las Vegas, 
Nevada, in July, brought back several hundred of the rare Plebejus 
shasta, specimens of the latter being even darker than the normal 
form comstocki. In addition, Mr. Morand was fortunate in 
obtaining a good series of a number of the genus Euphydryas 
hitherto unknown, which flies at elevations varying from 8,000 to 
11,000 feet. 


Mr. J. S. Garth and F. G. Wood, who collected in the Monache 
Meadows of Tulare County, were unable to secure specimens of 
Melitaes pola monache, known only from types taken by Dr. J. 


93 


A. Comstock in 1924; but succeeded in netting Argynnis mor- 
monia, Lycaena rubidus and editha, and Plebejus aquilo podarce 
in abundance. 


Commander RK. M. Dammers, a recent and most valuable ad- 
dition to the Lorquin membership, reports fall collecting in the 
neighborhood of Riverside quite productive. Mr. Dammers has 
recently contributed to our knowledge of the western butterflies 
by working out the life histories of Nathalis tole and Calephelis 
australis.
